NAME

6       nrsdrv - KISS to NET/ROM serial converter
7

SYNOPSIS

9       nrsdrv [-f] [-l] [-s speed] [-v] kissdev nrsdev
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Nrsdrv  is  a program designed to convert from the KISS protocol to the
13       NET/ROM serial protocol used by real NET/ROM's and TheNet's. The proto‐
14       cols  are  fairly  similar,  although  the NET/ROM serial protocol does
15       include a one byte checksum which KISS does not.
16
17       Typically nrsdrv will be attached to one end of a pseudo-tty  of  which
18       the  other end has been attached to a KISS capable program. The NET/ROM
19       device will probably be a real serial port attached to a TNC or a Hexi‐
20       pus. The full specification of the NET/ROM serial protocol can be found
21       in the original Software 2000 documentation that accompanied NET/ROMs.
