NAME

       nrattach - Start a NET/ROM interface

SYNOPSIS

       nrattach [-i inetaddr] [-m mtu] [-v] port

DESCRIPTION

       Nrattach  takes	many of the parameters for the port from the nrports(5) file. The paclen parameter is used for the device mtu unless over-
       ridden by a value on the command line. The port argument is the name of a port as given in the nrports(5) file.

       Nrattach tries to find the first free NET/ROM device in the system. The devices checked are nr0, nr1, nr2 and nr3 in that order. If no free
       NET/ROM device is available an error is generated and the program terminates.

OPTIONS

       -i inetaddr     Set the internet address of the interface. This address may either be a dotted decimal address or a host name.

       -m mtu	       Sets the mtu of the interface. If this value is not given then the value is taken from the paclen parameter in nrports.

       -v	       Display the version.

SEE ALSO

       netrom(4), nrparms(4), nrports(5), ifconfig(8).

BUGS

       The  program  can be run many times with the same arguments creating many instances of the same attributes on different devices. Not a good
       idea.
