       None known.

net2kiss  takes  AX.25  packets from an AX.25 kernel network interface and converts them into a KISS data
       stream via a pseudo-tty.

-iifname
              specifies the name of the kernel AX.25 network interface. The default is bc0.

       -s     tells  net2kiss  to  search by itself for a free pseudoterminal, open the master side and create a
              symlink named by -p to the slave side.

       -f     can be used in conjunction with -s to force the creation of the symlink even if  the  target  file
              does already exist. *DANGEROUS*

       -v     Verbose output. Displays error messages during operation and decoded packets to stdout.

       -z     put the network interface into promiscious mode.

       -a     receive every packet instead of only AX.25 from the kernel AX.25 network interface.

ptyname
              specifies the path to the pseudo-tty. If you use the special name "/dev/ptmx", then  a  Unix98-PTY
              pair is used; the pty name is written to stdout.

ifconfig(8), kissattach(8).
