NAME

        axports - AX.25 port configuration file.
 

DESCRIPTION

        Axports  is  an  ASCII file that contains information about each of the
        physical AX.25 ports that are to be used. When dealing  with  an  AX.25
        utility  such  as  call, it takes an optional argument that is the port
        name. This port name is a reference to the line within  axports,  which
        has  that name as its first argument. The information on each line con‐
        tains enough information to bind the command to a  particular  physical
        AX.25  interface,  this binding is done by matching the callsign on the
        line in axports with the callsign of the port set by kissattach.
 
        The lines within axports must either be a comment  line,  which  starts
        with  a  #  in the first column, or a port description in the following
        format, each field being delimited by white space:
 
               name callsign speed paclen window description
 
        The field descriptions are:
 
               name          is the unique identifier of the port. This is  the
                             name  given  as  the  port argument of many of the
                             AX.25 support programs.
 
               callsign      the callsign of the physical interface to bind to.
 
               speed         this  is  the  speed of interface, a value of zero
                             means that no speed will be set by  kissattach(8).
 
               paclen        is the default maximum packet size for this inter‐
                             face.
 
               window        the default window size for this interface.
 
               description   a free format description of this interface,  this
                             field  extends  to the end of the line. This field
                             may contain spaces.
