NAME
net2kiss - convert a network AX.25 driver to a KISS stream on a pseudo-
tty
SYNOPSIS
net2kiss [-sfzva] [-i ifname] ptyname
DESCRIPTION
net2kiss takes AX.25 packets from an AX.25 kernel network interface and
converts them into a KISS data stream via a pseudo-tty.
PARAMETERS
ptyname
specifies the path to the pseudo-tty.
OPTIONS
-i ifname
specifies the name of the kernel AX.25 network interface. The
default is bc0.
-s tells net2kiss to search by itself for a free pseudoterminal,
open the master side and create a symlink named by -p to the
slave side.
-f can be used in conjunction with -s to force the creation of the
symlink even if the target file does already exist.
-v Verbose output. Displays error messages during operation and
decoded packets to stdout.
-z put the network interface into promiscious mode.
-a receive every packet instead of only AX.25 from the kernel AX.25
network interface.
BUGS
None known.
