NAME

       ttylinkd - TTYlink daemon for AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE and IP.

SYNOPSIS

       ttylinkd [-hv] [-c callsign] [-f file]

DESCRIPTION

       ttylinkd  is  a simple daemon that allows incoming ttylink calls to be routed through to Linux's normal talkd(8) system and provides a pipe
       between the two.

       ttylinkd is usually setup to be spawned from ax25d(8) or inetd(8) but can, since version 0.03,  be  used  on  the  command  line,  although
       talk(1) is a much better idea for interactive users.

       Use splitscreen(1) for outgoing ttylink sessions.

OPTIONS

       -v	 Display the version.

       -h	 Display some help and information on it.

       -c callsign
		 Disable callsign checking and use the given callsign for a name for this end of the link.

       -f file	 Use <file> for the configuration file, instead of the default /etc/ax25/ttylinkd.conf

FILES

       /etc/ax25/ttylinkd.conf	the configuration file for ttylinkd

SEE ALSO

       talk(1), splitscreen(1), ttylinkd.conf(5), ax25d(8), inetd(8), talkd(8).

BUGS

       There is still some need for some checking of who is still logged on.

       The daemon may hang if you disconnect from it strangely.

       There is no real way of working out what is going on with talkd.

       If you do not have a talk daemon going on the specified host then the program will tend to sit there and do nothing.

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.

FILES

       /etc/ax25/axports
       /etc/ax25/nrports
       /etc/ax25/rsports

SEE ALSO
