DESCRIPTION

22       ax25_call,  netrom_call,  rose_call  and  tcp_call  establish an AX.25,
23       NET/ROM, ROSE or a TCP connection in a manner suitable for calling from
24       either  the  ax25d  program  directly,  or  from the node program as an
25       external command. By setting the command line  arguments  appropriately
26       it  is  possible  to set the local callsign from which the call will be
27       made. No translation of the end of lines is performed by this program.
28
29       For netrom_call the  remote_netrom_addr  parameter may either be in the
30       form  of  a  single callsign or as a NET/ROM alias  and  callsign  pair
31       separated by colon. For example NMCLUS:GB7BPQ.
32
33       For rose_call the remote_rose_addr  parameter  must be in the form of a
34       ten digit ROSE address.
35
36       For tcp_call the remote_addr parameter must be a dotted-quad IP address
37       or a hostname and the remote_port must be  a  service  name  (see  ser‐
38       vices(5)) or a port number.

OPTIONS

41       -c          Enables  zlib based compression on the incoming connection.
42                   Compression algorithm is the  same  as  in  LinuxNode  (see
43                   node(8)).
44
45       -i paclen   The maximum frame length to be used on the incoming connec‐
46                   tion. The default is 256 for ax25_call and  rose_call,  236
47                   for netrom_call and 1024 for tcp_call.
48
49       -o paclen   The maximum frame length to be used on the outgoing connec‐
50                   tion. The default is 256 for ax25_call and  rose_call,  236
51                   for netrom_call and 1024 for tcp_call.
