       baycomepp - Baycom EPP modem driver

SYNOPSIS

       baycomepp [ -lknvcaz ] [-p portaddr] [-m modestr] [--epp] [--ecp] [--eppconv] [--eppafsk] [--ifname name]
       [--hwaddr callsign] [--ipaddr ipaddress] [--netmask netmask] [--broadcast broadcast]

DESCRIPTION

       baycomepp is a user mode driver for the Baycom EPP modem family. It currently supports  the  conventional
       EPP  modem  (using  the  IDT  72xxx FIFO's) and the FPGA (Xilinx XCS10) variant. The driver automatically
       initializes the FPGA modem depending on the requested  mode.   In  order  to  keep  the  resident  memory
       footprint  small  (approx  20kBytes  plus standard system shared libraries like libc), the initialization
       code is contained in a shared library called baycomfpga_init.so .  This driver is able  to  automatically
       attach  itself  to  the  kernel  network stack as a network interface (usually called ax0). To do this it
       requires the Linux Kernel MKISS driver (enable CONFIG_MKISS).

OPTIONS

       baycomepp accepts the following options:

       -h     --help Display an overview of the available command line parameters and exit.

       -v     --verbose Increases the verbosity of the output. May be cumulated.

       -p     --port Specifies the base address of  the  EPP  capable  parallel  port  to  which  the  modem  is
              connected. Use the 0x prefix to specify hexadecimal numbers.

       -m     --mode Specifies various ``firmware'' options.

       -n     --no-daemon  Do  not start up in background as a daemon. Also log received and transmitted packets
              to stdout.

       -l     --log Log to syslog.

       -k     --kill Kill running baycomepp daemons. Don't start the driver proper.

       --epp  Start up in EPP FSK mode. Requires the FPGA version.

       --eppafsk
              Start up in EPP AFSK mode. Requires the FPGA version.

       --ecp  Start up in ECP FSK mode. Requires the FPGA version.

       --eppconv
              Start up in conventional EPP FSK mode. Requires the conventional version.

       --ifname
              Set the name of the interface (requires Linux 2.2.x)

       --hwaddr
              Set the hardware address (callsign) of the interface

       --ipaddr
              Set the ip address of the interface

       --netmask
              Set the netmask of the interface

       --broadcast
              Set the broadcast address of the interface

FIRMWARE OPTIONS

       intclk uses FPGA internal clock; don't use if an external oscillator is on board.

       extclk uses the external oscillator; recommended if the internal modem is used, as the frequency  of  the
              FPGA oscillator is not accurate enough.

       intmodem
              uses the internal modem

       extmodem
              uses a DF9IC type modem connected to the high speed modem connector

       divider=x
              sets the clock divider for the internal modem (baud=fquartz/16/divider)

       loopback
              sets an internal modem loopback

       extstat
              allows extended status readback

       noextstat
              disallows extended status readback
