NAME

       axctl - Configure/Kill running AX.25 connections.

SYNOPSIS

       axctl [-v] port dest src window|t1|t2|t3|n2|idle|paclen|kill [parm]

DESCRIPTION

       The  axctl  command  is designed to be a multi-function command that allows miscellaneous commands to be issued to the Linux AX.25 protocol
       layer for existing AX.25 connections. The connection is uniquely identified via the combination of port, destination  callsign  and  source
       callsign, with that information the kernel is able to change the parameters, or abort the connection.

       Many  of the options are similar to those found in axparms and perform the same function. Only one parameter may be changed on each invoka-
       tion of axctl.
