NAME

6       net2kiss - convert a network AX.25 driver to a KISS stream on a pseudo-
7       tty
8

SYNOPSIS

10       net2kiss [-sfzva] [-i ifname] ptyname
11

DESCRIPTION

13       net2kiss takes AX.25 packets from an AX.25 kernel network interface and
14       converts them into a KISS data stream via a pseudo-tty.
15

PARAMETERS

17       ptyname
18              specifies the path to the pseudo-tty.
19

OPTIONS

21       -i ifname
22              specifies  the  name  of the kernel AX.25 network interface. The
23              default is bc0.
24
25       -s     tells net2kiss to search by itself for  a  free  pseudoterminal,
26              open  the  master  side  and create a symlink named by -p to the
27              slave side.
28
29       -f     can be used in conjunction with -s to force the creation of  the
30              symlink even if the target file does already exist.
31
32       -v     Verbose  output.  Displays  error  messages during operation and
33              decoded packets to stdout.
34
35       -z     put the network interface into promiscious mode.
36
37       -a     receive every packet instead of only AX.25 from the kernel AX.25
38              network interface.
