ax25ipd - AX.25 into IP Encapsulator
Contents
Bugs
Routing needs to be looked at seriously, the method of routing is a real hack, and improvements to it
have only added to the hack.
Logging needs to be properly implemented.
Command line parsing needs to be properly implemented.
ax25ipd should be part of the Linux AX.25 kernel support probably :-)
Description
ax25ipd is an RFC1226 compliant daemon capable of providing the encapsulation necessary to send and
receive AX.25 traffic across an IP transport.
Normally invoked as part of the boot order network initialisation, ax25ipd is capable of talking directly
to a serial port connected tnc, or over a pipe to a linux AX.25 port. KAM DE Dual Port Kiss is also
supported.
ax25ipd can be run as a pure encapsulator, or as a digital repeater with a functional callsign.
Destination IP addresses are determined from a hardcoded map of callsign/IP Address pairs.
ax25ipd defaults to using /etc/ax25/ax25ipd.conf as its config file.

Options
-v,--version
Display the version.
-h,--help Display a summary of the command line options.
-l,--loglevelNUM
Set the logging level to NUM.
-c,--configfileFILE
Use the configuration file named by FILE instead of the default.
-d,--ttydeviceTTYDEV
Use ttydevice instead of the configured. This is useful because on systems with unix98 PTYs the
device is allocated dynamically and thus the name is not predictable.
-f,--nofork
Do not become a daemon. Run in foreground.
