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.
