NAME

6       nrports - NET/ROM port configuration file.
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Nrports  is  an  ASCII file that contains information about each of the
10       NET/ROM ports that are to be used. When dealing with an NET/ROM utility
11       such as call, it takes an optional argument that is the port name. This
12       port name is a reference to the line within nrports, which has the same
13       name.  The information on each line contains enough information to bind
14       the command to a particular NET/ROM interface, this binding is done  by
15       matching  the  callsign on the line in nrports with the callsign of the
16       port set by ifconfig.
17
18       The nrports file may contain comments that begin with a # in the  first
19       column, or a port description in the following format, each field being
20       delimited by white space:
21
22              name callsign alias paclen description
23
24       The field descriptions are:
25
26
27              name          this is the unique NET/ROM port identifier.
28
29              callsign      the callsign of the NET/ROM interface to bind to.
30
31              alias         this is the alias of the NET/ROM port.
32
33              paclen        is the default packet size for this interface.
34
35              description   a free format description of this interface,  this
36                            field  extends to the end of the line. It may con‐
37                            tain spaces.
