NAME

       /etc/ax25/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 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 contains 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.  This is not in any  way  related  to  actual
                            device identities, just unique

              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 interface.

              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.
