NAME

6       nrattach - Start a NET/ROM interface
7

SYNOPSIS

9       nrattach [-i inetaddr] [-m mtu] [-v] port
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Nrattach  takes many of the parameters for the port from the nrports(5)
13       file. The paclen parameter is used for the device mtu unless overridden
14       by a value on the command line. The port argument is the name of a port
15       as given in the nrports(5) file.
16
17       Nrattach tries to find the first free NET/ROM device in the system. The
18       devices  checked  are  nr0,  nr1, nr2 and nr3 in that order. If no free
19       NET/ROM device is available an error is generated and the program  ter‐
20       minates.
21

OPTIONS

23       -i inetaddr     Set the internet address of the interface. This address
24                       may either be a dotted decimal address or a host name.
25
26       -m mtu          Sets the mtu of the interface. If  this  value  is  not
27                       given then the value is taken from the paclen parameter
28                       in nrports.
29
30       -v              Display the version.

BUGS

36       The program can be run many times with the same arguments creating many
37       instances of the same attributes on different devices. Not a good idea.
