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 argument that is the port name.  This
12       port name is a reference to the line within  axports,  which  has  that
13       name  as  its  first  argument.   The information on each line contains
14       enough information to bind the command to a particular  physical  AX.25
15       interface, this binding is done by matching the callsign on the line in
16       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:

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.  This is not  in  any  way
30                            related to actual device identities, just unique
31
32              callsign      the callsign of the physical interface to bind to.
33
34              speed         this  is  the  speed of interface, a value of zero
35                            means that no speed will be set by kissattach(8).
36
37              paclen        is the default maximum packet size for this inter‐
38                            face.
39
40              window        the default window size for this interface.
41
42              description   a  free format description of this interface, this
43                            field extends to the end of the line.  This  field
44                            may contain spaces.
