NRSDRV(8) Linux System Managers Manual NRSDRV(8)NAME
nrsdrv - KISS to NET/ROM serial converter
SYNOPSIS
nrsdrv [-f] [-l] [-s speed] [-v] kissdev nrsdev
DESCRIPTION
Nrsdrv is a program designed to convert from the KISS protocol to the NET/ROM serial protocol used by real NET/ROM's and TheNet's. The pro-
tocols are fairly similar, although the NET/ROM serial protocol does include a one byte checksum which KISS does not.
Typically nrsdrv will be attached to one end of a pseudo-tty of which the other end has been attached to a KISS capable program. The
NET/ROM device will probably be a real serial port attached to a TNC or a Hexipus. The full specification of the NET/ROM serial protocol
can be found in the original Software 2000 documentation that accompanied NET/ROMs.
OPTIONS -f Flow control enabled for use with a Hexipus, the default is disabled. See the file hexipus.txt in the source distribution for
wiring details.
-l Log messages to the system log, the default is not to.
-s speed Sets the speed of both interfaces. If no value is specified then no speed will be set.
-v Display the version.
BUGS
None known.

AF_NETROM - NET/ROM amateur packet radio protocol family
DESCRIPTION
NET/ROM is a protocol used extensively by radio amateurs. The Linux NET/ROM protocol family permits access to these protocols via the stan-
dard networking socket metaphor.
The NET/ROM protocol layer only supports connected mode. IP traffic may be stacked on top of NET/ROM frames using a non-standard extension
to the NET/ROM protocol.
The only mode of operation is connected mode which is the mode used for a socket of type SOCK_SEQPACKET (stream sockets are not available
in NET/ROM). This requires that the user ensures output data is suitably packetised, and that input data is read a packet at a time into a
buffer of suitable size.
NET/ROM addresses consist of 6 ascii characters and a number called the SSID. These are encoded into a sockaddr_ax25 structure which is
provided to the relevant system calls.
NET/ROM has some unusual properties. Notably in a multi-user system an AX.25 address is often associated with a user, and some users may
not have such an association. a set of ioctl calls are provided to manage an association table.
NET/ROM supports the following socket options for SOL_NETROM. NETROM_T1 is the T1 timer in 1/10ths of a second, NETROM_T2 is the T2 timer
in 1/10ths of a second. NETROM_N2, the retry counter is also configurable. There is no 'infinite retry' option supported however. It is
possible for an application to request that the NET/ROM layer return the NET/ROM header as well as the application data, this is done via
the NETROM_HDRINCL socket option.

Hello,
Is there any way to create a hybrid CD-ROM on either a Windows or Solaris server to be able to mastered with a Windows mastering software like Roxio.
Thanks,

Hi,
Iam trying to get make a serial connection to an Ultra 10 from my laptop. I've set the output to goto ttya in the nvram parameters. Iam using a db9 converter at the laptop end and a db25 converter at the ultra 10 end-I know the adapters are fine and so is the cable. Iam just not able to get it... (3 Replies)
Please Help...
I have two sunfire V245 servers running Apache on Solaris 5.10. Both servers have the same settings and apps. Before we used serial port to connect to ALOM 1.6. We switched to net mgnt port because of virtualization of all our servers.
Situation:
Server 1 applied the solaris... (1 Reply)
Hi Guys
Am new in UNIX environment I was asked by my boss to write a program that transfer files from the AIX server to the Wintel Server. I have written the program in C# windows which does almost the same thing. So how to run the C# program in UNIX? (1 Reply)
Hello ppl,
I'm working on a windows program simulating an existing Unix program,
the program is a firmware downloader, it sends a binary firmware file through the serial port (rs232) to a Set-Top Box running under unix system too, as i'm a poor unix user and not a unix programmer i choosed the... (10 Replies)
