NAME

       nrsdrv - KISS to NET/ROM serial converter

SYNOPSIS

       nrsdrv [-f] [-l] [-s speed] [-v] kissdev nrsdev

DESCRIPTION

       Nrsdrv  is  a  program  designed to convert from the KISS protocol to the NET/ROM serial protocol used by
       real NET/ROM's and TheNet's. The protocols are fairly similar, although the NET/ROM serial protocol  does
       include a one byte checksum which KISS does not.

       Typically  nrsdrv will be attached to one end of a pseudo-tty of which the other end has been attached to
       a KISS capable program. The NET/ROM device will probably be a real serial port attached to  a  TNC  or  a
       Hexipus. The full specification of the NET/ROM serial protocol can be found in the original Software 2000
       documentation that accompanied NET/ROMs.

OPTIONS

       -f        Flow control enabled for use with a Hexipus, the default is disabled.  See the file hexipus.txt
                 in the source distribution for wiring details.

       -l        Log messages to the system log, the default is not to.

       -s speed  Sets the speed of both interfaces. If no value is specified then no speed will be set.

       -v        Display the version.

BUGS

       None known.
