NAME

       xfbbd - Daemon for the fbb mailbox

SYNOPSIS

       xfbbd [options]

OPTIONS

       -v     Verbose option. Prints errors, warnings and messages.

       -p <port>
	      TCP/IP port for the console client. Default is 3286.

       -a     Decode all packets when receiving data on a socket. Normally only AX.25 data (NET/ROM and Rose) will be monitored.

       -i     Init mode. Only initialize, don't run. Use this to parse your configuration files without actually starting the daemon.

NAME

       AF_NETROM - NET/ROM amateur packet radio protocol family

DESCRIPTION

       NET/ROM is a protocol used extensively by radio amateurs. The Linux NET/ROM protocol family permits access to these protocols via the stan-
       dard networking socket metaphor.

       The NET/ROM protocol layer only supports connected mode. IP traffic may be stacked on top of NET/ROM frames using a non-standard  extension
       to the NET/ROM protocol.

       The  only  mode of operation is connected mode which is the mode used for a socket of type SOCK_SEQPACKET (stream sockets are not available
       in NET/ROM).  This requires that the user ensures output data is suitably packetised, and that input data is read a packet at a time into a
       buffer of suitable size.

       NET/ROM	addresses  consist  of	6 ascii characters and a number called the SSID. These are encoded into a sockaddr_ax25 structure which is
       provided to the relevant system calls.

       NET/ROM has some unusual properties. Notably in a multi-user system an AX.25 address is often associated with a user, and  some	users  may
       not have such an association. a set of ioctl calls are provided to manage an association table.

       NET/ROM	supports  the following socket options for SOL_NETROM. NETROM_T1 is the T1 timer in 1/10ths of a second, NETROM_T2 is the T2 timer
       in 1/10ths of a second. NETROM_N2, the retry counter is also configurable. There is no 'infinite retry' option  supported  however.  It	is
       possible  for  an application to request that the NET/ROM layer return the NET/ROM header as well as the application data, this is done via
       the NETROM_HDRINCL socket option.
