NAME
       nrattach - Start a NET/ROM interface


SYNOPSIS
       nrattach [-i inetaddr] [-m mtu] [-v] port


DESCRIPTION
       Nrattach takes many of the parameters for the port from the nrports(5) file. The paclen parameter is used
       for the device mtu unless overridden by a value on the command line. The port argument is the name  of  a
       port as given in the nrports(5) file.

       Nrattach tries to find the first free NET/ROM device in the system. The devices checked are nr0, nr1, nr2
       and nr3 in that order. If no free NET/ROM device is available an  error  is  generated  and  the  program
       terminates.


OPTIONS
       -i inetaddr     Set  the  internet  address of the interface. This address may either be a dotted decimal
                       address or a host name.

       -m mtu          Sets the mtu of the interface. If this value is not given then the value  is  taken  from
                       the paclen parameter in nrports.

       -v              Display the version.

       netrom(4), nrparms(4), nrports(5), ifconfig(8).


BUGS
       The  program can be run many times with the same arguments creating many instances of the same attributes
       on different devices. Not a good idea.
