NAME

net2kiss − convert a network AX.25 driver to a KISS stream on a pseudo-tty

SYNOPSIS

net2kiss [-sfzva] [-i ifname] ptyname

DESCRIPTION

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

PARAMETERS

ptyname

specifies the path to the pseudo-tty.

OPTIONS

−i ifname

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.

−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.

BUGS

None known.
