RSDWNLNK(8)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						       RSDWNLNK(8)

NAME

       rsdwnlnk - User exit from the ROSE network.

SYNOPSIS

       rsdwnlnk <port> <call>

DESCRIPTION

       The  rdwnplnk  program allows a user to leave the ROSE network using the standard pseudo-digipeating method. Recent Linux kernels are aware
       of this form of operation and the ax25d program can create such connections. The normal mode of operation of a ROSE switch is to  have  one
       ROSE  address (ie port) per physical AX.25 port.  Therefore ROSE users coming in on a given ROSE port will come out of the associated AX.25
       port.

       To use rsdwnlnk you need an entry in ax25d.conf to listen for incoming ROSE connections to any callsigns that are not matched by  the  more
       specific  ROSE  entries. In the example below, I will be listening for ROSE connections on my ROSE port rs144, the exiting AX.25 connection
       will be via the associated AX.25 port, 144, using the callsign KE4GAJ-10. Please note that the callsign should be on the same line  as  the
       rest of the command, it may be wrapped onto the next line on your screen.

       #
       {* VIA rs144}
       NOCALL  * * * * * * L
       default * * * * * * - root /usr/sbin/rsdwnlnk rsdwnlnk 144 KE4GAJ-10
       #

       There would typically be one rsdwnlnk per ROSE port. The associated program for entering a ROSE network is rsuplnk.

       All errors generated by rsdwnlnk are written to the system debug log file.

AX25_CALL(8)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						      AX25_CALL(8)

NAME

       ax25_call, netrom_call, rose_call, tcp_call - make an AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE or TCP connection

SYNOPSIS

       ax25_call [-c] [-i paclen] [-o paclen] port local_call remote_call [digipeaters ...]

       netrom_call [-c] [-i paclen] [-o paclen] port local_call remote_netrom_addr

       rose_call [-c] [-i paclen] [-o paclen] port local_call remote_call remote_rose_addr

       tcp_call [-c] [-i paclen] [-o paclen] remote_addr remote_port

DESCRIPTION

       ax25_call,  netrom_call, rose_call and tcp_call establish an AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE or a TCP connection in a manner suitable for calling from
       either the ax25d program directly, or from the node program as an external command. By setting the command line arguments appropriately	it
       is possible to set the local callsign from which the call will be made. No translation of the end of lines is performed by this program.

       For  netrom_call  the   remote_netrom_addr   parameter  may either be in the form of a single callsign or as a NET/ROM alias  and  callsign
       pair separated by colon. For example NMCLUS:GB7BPQ.

       For rose_call the remote_rose_addr  parameter  must be in the form of a ten digit ROSE address.

       For tcp_call the remote_addr parameter must be a dotted-quad IP address or a hostname and the remote_port must be a service name (see  ser-
       vices(5)) or a port number.

OPTIONS

       -c	   Enables zlib based compression on the incoming connection. Compression algorithm is the same as in LinuxNode (see node(8)).

       -i paclen   The	maximum  frame	length	to  be	used  on  the incoming connection. The default is 256 for ax25_call and rose_call, 236 for
		   netrom_call and 1024 for tcp_call.

       -o paclen   The maximum frame length to be used on the outgoing connection. The default	is  256  for  ax25_call  and  rose_call,  236  for
		   netrom_call and 1024 for tcp_call.
