NAME
ax25_call, netrom_call, rose_call, tcp_call - make an AX.25, NET/ROM,
ROSE or TCP connection
SYNOPSIS
ax25_call [-c] [-i paclen] [-o paclen] port local_call remote_call
[digipeaters ...]
netrom_call [-c] [-i paclen] [-o paclen] port local_call
remote_netrom_addr
rose_call [-c] [-i paclen] [-o paclen] port local_call remote_call
remote_rose_addr
tcp_call [-c] [-i paclen] [-o paclen] remote_addr remote_port
DESCRIPTION
ax25_call, netrom_call, rose_call and tcp_call establish an AX.25,
NET/ROM, ROSE or a TCP connection in a manner suitable for calling from
either the ax25d program directly, or from the node program as an
external command. By setting the command line arguments appropriately
it is possible to set the local callsign from which the call will be
made. No translation of the end of lines is performed by this program.
For netrom_call the remote_netrom_addr parameter may either be in the
form of a single callsign or as a NET/ROM alias and callsign pair
separated by colon. For example NMCLUS:GB7BPQ.
For rose_call the remote_rose_addr parameter must be in the form of a
ten digit ROSE address.
For tcp_call the remote_addr parameter must be a dotted-quad IP address
or a hostname and the remote_port must be a service name (see
services(5)) or a port number.
OPTIONS
-c Enables zlib based compression on the incoming connection.
Compression algorithm is the same as in LinuxNode (see
node(8)).
-i paclen The maximum frame length to be used on the incoming
connection. The default is 256 for ax25_call and rose_call,
236 for netrom_call and 1024 for tcp_call.
-o paclen The maximum frame length to be used on the outgoing
connection. The default is 256 for ax25_call and rose_call,
236 for netrom_call and 1024 for tcp_call.
