NAME

       axctl - Configure/Kill running AX.25 connections.

SYNOPSIS

       axctl [-v] port dest src window|t1|t2|t3|n2|idle|paclen|kill [parm]

DESCRIPTION

       The  axctl  command  is  designed to be a multi-function command that allows miscellaneous
       commands to be issued to the Linux AX.25 protocol layer for  existing  AX.25  connections.
       The  connection  is  uniquely identified via the combination of port, destination callsign
       and source callsign, with that information the kernel is able to change the parameters, or
       abort the connection.

       Many  of  the options are similar to those found in axparms and perform the same function.
       Only one parameter may be changed on each invokation of axctl.
