NAME

       nrports - NET/ROM port configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

       Nrports  is  an ASCII file that contains information about each of the NET/ROM ports that are to be used.
       When dealing with an NET/ROM utility such as call, it takes an optional argument that is the  port  name.
       This  port  name  is  a reference to the line within nrports, which has the same name. The information on
       each line contains enough information to bind the command to a particular NET/ROM interface, this binding
       is done by matching the callsign on the line in nrports with the callsign of the port set by ifconfig.

       The  nrports  file may contain comments that begin with a # in the first column, or a port description in
       the following format, each field being delimited by white space:

              name callsign alias paclen description

       The field descriptions are:

              name          this is the unique NET/ROM port identifier.

              callsign      the callsign of the NET/ROM interface to bind to.

              alias         this is the alias of the NET/ROM port.

              paclen        is the default packet size for this interface.

              description   a free format description of this interface, this field extends to the  end  of  the
                            line. It may contain spaces.
