Linux                                             27 April 2008                                     AX25_CALL(8)

ax25_call,netrom_call,rose_callandtcp_call establish an AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE or a TCP connection in a
       manner  suitable  for  calling  from  either  the  ax25d program directly, or from the node program as an
       external command. By setting the command line arguments appropriately it is possible  to  set  the  local
       callsign  from  which  the  call  will  be  made. No translation of the end of lines is performed by this
       program.

       For netrom_call the  remote_netrom_addr  parameter may either be in the form of a single callsign or as a
       NET/ROM alias  and  callsign  pair separated by colon. For example NMCLUS:GB7BPQ.

       For rose_call the remote_rose_addr  parameter  must be in the form of a ten digit ROSE address.

       For tcp_call the remote_addr parameter must be a dotted-quad IP address or a hostname and the remote_port
       must be a service name (see services(5)) or a port number.

-c          Enables zlib based compression on the incoming connection. Compression algorithm is the  same
                   as in LinuxNode (see node(8)).

       -ipaclen   The  maximum  frame  length  to  be  used  on the incoming connection. The default is 256 for
                   ax25_call and rose_call, 236 for netrom_call and 1024 for tcp_call.

       -opaclen   The maximum frame length to be used on the  outgoing  connection.  The  default  is  256  for
                   ax25_call and rose_call, 236 for netrom_call and 1024 for tcp_call.
