NAME
       kissnetd - Create a virtual network.

SYNOPSIS
       kissnetd [-f size] [-v] [-p <num> | tty... ]

DESCRIPTION
       Kissnetd allows the creation of a virtual network of AX.25 systems that use the KISS protocol. Each tty named on the command line is opened
       and any KISS frames received on tty is copied to the other ttys. This allows a number of AX.25 systems to share the same packets.

OPTIONS
       -p num	 Automaticaly allocate num Unix98 slave pty's via /dev/ptmx.  These are written to stdout and could  be  parsed  by  your  startup
		 scripts.  "kissnetd -p 3" is an comfortable alternative to "kissnetd /dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx".

       -f size	 This  sets  the  maximum KISS frame size that the program will handle. The default is 512 bytes which will be adequate under most
		 circumstances.

       -v	 Enables verbose mode, tracing of data passed is sent to standard output.
