NAME

       ax25ipd - AX.25 into IP Encapsulator

SYNOPSIS

       ax25ipd [options]

DESCRIPTION

       ax25ipd  is  an  RFC1226  compliant  daemon  capable of providing the encapsualtion necessary to send and
       receive AX.25 traffic across an IP transport.

       Normally invoked as part of the boot order network initialisation, ax25ipd is capable of talking directly
       to  a  serial  port  connected  tnc,  or over a pipe to a linux AX.25 port. KAM DE Dual Port Kiss is also
       supported.

       ax25ipd can be run as a pure  encapsulator,  or  as  a  digital  repeater  with  a  functional  callsign.
       Destination IP addresses are determined from a hardcoded map of callsign/IP Address pairs.

       ax25ipd defaults to using /etc/ax25/ax25ipd.conf as its config file.

OPTIONS

       -v,--version
                 Display the version.

       -h,--help Display a summary of the command line options.

       -l,--loglevelNUM
                 Set the logging level to NUM.

       -c,--configfileFILE
                 Use the configuration file named by FILE instead of the default.

       -d,--ttydeviceTTYDEV
                 Use ttydevice instead of the configured. This is useful because on systems with unix98 PTYs the
                 device is allocated dynamicaly and thus the name is not predictable.

       -f,--nofork
                 Do not become a daemon. Run in foreground.

FILES

       /etc/ax25/ax25ipd.conf

BUGS

       Routing needs to be looked at seriously, the method of routing is a real hack,  and  improvements  to  it
       have only added to the hack.

       Logging needs to be properly implemented.

       Command line parsing needs to be properly implemented.

       ax25ipd should be part of the Linux AX.25 kernel support probably :-)
