kissnetd - Create a virtual network.
Contents
Description
Kissnetd allows the creation of a virtual network of AX.25 systems that use the KISS protocol. Each tty
named on the command line is opened and any KISS frames received on tty is copied to the other ttys. This
allows a number of AX.25 systems to share the same packets.
Name
kissnetd - Create a virtual network.
Options
-pnum Automatically allocate num Unix98 slave pty's via /dev/ptmx. These are written to stdout and
could be parsed by your startup scripts. "kissnetd -p 3" is a comfortable alternative to
"kissnetd /dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx".
-fsize This sets the maximum KISS frame size that the program will handle. The default is 512 bytes
which will be adequate under most circumstances.
-v Enables verbose mode, tracing of data passed is sent to standard output.
