NAME

       kissnetd - Create a virtual network.

SYNOPSIS

       kissnetd [-f size] [-v] [-p <num> | tty... ]

DESCRIPTION

       Kissnetd  allows  the creation of a virtual network of AX.25 systems that use the KISS protocol. Each tty
       named on the command line is opened and any KISS frames received on tty is copied to the other ttys. This
       allows a number of AX.25 systems to share the same packets.

OPTIONS

       -p num    Automatically allocate num Unix98 slave pty's via /dev/ptmx.  These are written to  stdout  and
                 could  be  parsed  by  your  startup scripts.  "kissnetd -p 3" is an comfortable alternative to
                 "kissnetd /dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx".

       -f size   This sets the maximum KISS frame size that the program will handle. The default  is  512  bytes
                 which will be adequate under most circumstances.

       -v        Enables verbose mode, tracing of data passed is sent to standard output.
