NAME

7

SYNOPSIS

9       ax25ipd [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       ax25ipd  is an RFC1226 compliant daemon capable of providing the encap‐
13       sualtion neccessary to send and receive  AX.25  traffic  across  an  IP
14       transport.
15
16       Normally  invoked  as  part  of  the boot order network initialisation,
17       ax25ipd is capable of talking directly to a serial port connected  tnc,
18       or  over  a  pipe  to a linux AX.25 port. KAM DE Dual Port Kiss is also
19       supported.
20
21       ax25ipd can be run as a pure encapsulator, or  as  a  digital  repeater
22       with  a  functional  callsign.  Destination IP addresses are determined
23       from a hardcoded map of callsign/IP Address pairs.
24
25       ax25ipd defaults to using /etc/ax25/ax25ipd.conf as its config file.

BUGS

47       Routing  needs  to  be  looked at seriously, the method of routing is a
48       real hack, and improvements to it have only added to the hack.
49
50       Logging needs to be properly implemented.
51
52       Command line parsing needs to be properly implemented.
53
54       ax25ipd should be part of the Linux AX.25 kernel support probably :-)
