NAME

6       kissnetd - Create a virtual network.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       kissnetd [-f size] [-v] [-p <num> | tty... ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Kissnetd allows the creation of a virtual network of AX.25 systems that
13       use the KISS protocol. Each tty named on the command line is opened and
14       any  KISS  frames  received  on  tty  is copied to the other ttys. This
15       allows a number of AX.25 systems to share the same packets.

OPTIONS

18       -p num    Automaticaly allocate num Unix98 slave pty's  via  /dev/ptmx.
19                 These  are  written  to  stdout  and  could be parsed by your
20                 startup scripts.  "kissnetd -p 3" is an comfortable  alterna‐
21                 tive to "kissnetd /dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx".
22
23       -f size   This  sets  the maximum KISS frame size that the program will
24                 handle. The default is 512 bytes which will be adequate under
25                 most circumstances.
26
27       -v        Enables verbose mode, tracing of data passed is sent to stan‐
28                 dard output.
