NAME

6       axports - AX.25 port configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

9       Axports  is  an  ASCII file that contains information about each of the
10       physical AX.25 ports that are to be used. When dealing  with  an  AX.25
11       utility  such  as  call, it takes an optional argument that is the port
12       name. This port name is a reference to the line within  axports,  which
13       has  that name as its first argument. The information on each line con‐
14       tains enough information to bind the command to a  particular  physical
15       AX.25  interface,  this binding is done by matching the callsign on the
16       line in axports with the callsign of the port set by kissattach.
17
18       The lines within axports must either be a comment  line,  which  starts
19       with  a  #  in the first column, or a port description in the following
20       format, each field being delimited by white space:
21
22              name callsign speed paclen window description
23
24       The field descriptions are:
25
26
27              name          is the unique identifier of the port. This is  the
28                            name  given  as  the  port argument of many of the
29                            AX.25 support programs.
30
31              callsign      the callsign of the physical interface to bind to.
32
33              speed         this is the speed of interface, a  value  of  zero
34                            means that no speed will be set by kissattach(8).
35
36              paclen        is the default maximum packet size for this inter‐
37                            face.
38
39              window        the default window size for this interface.
40
41              description   a free format description of this interface,  this
42                            field  extends  to the end of the line. This field
43                            may contain spaces.
