ttylinkd - TTYlink daemon for AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE and IP.
Contents
Bugs
There is still some need for some checking of who is still logged on.
The daemon may hang if you disconnect from it strangely.
There is no real way of working out what is going on with talkd.
If you do not have a talk daemon going on the specified host then the program will tend to sit there and
do nothing.
Description
ttylinkd is a simple daemon that allows incoming ttylink calls to be routed through to Linux's normal
talkd(8) system and provides a pipe between the two.
ttylinkd is usually setup to be spawned from ax25d(8) or inetd(8) but can, since version 0.03, be used on
the command line, although talk(1) is a much better idea for interactive users.
Use splitscreen(1) for outgoing ttylink sessions.
Files
