@@@AX25IPD@@@(1)

NAME
@@@ax25ipd@@@ - AX.25 into IP Encapsulator

SYNOPSIS
@@@ax25ipd@@@ [options]

DESCRIPTION

@@@ax25ipd@@@ is an RFC1226 compliant daemon capable of providing the encapsualtion neccessary to send and receive AX.25 traffic across an IP transport.

Normally invoked as part of the boot order network initialisation, @@@ax25ipd@@@ is capable of talking directly to a serial port connected tnc, or over a pipe to a linux AX.25 port. KAM DE Dual Port Kiss is also supported.

@@@ax25ipd@@@ can be run as a pure encapsulator, or as a digital repeater with a functional callsign. Destination IP addresses are determined from a hardcoded map of callsign/IP Address pairs.

@@@ax25ipd@@@ defaults to using /etc/ax25/ax25ipd.conf as its config file.

OPTIONS

-v,--version
    Display the version.

-h,--help
    Display a summary of the command line options.

-l,--loglevelNUM
    Set the logging level to NUM.

-c,--configfileFILE
    Use the configuration file named by FILE instead of the default.

-d,--ttydeviceTTYDEV
    Use ttydevice instead of the configured. This is useful because on systems with unix98 PTYs the device is allocated dynamicaly and thus the name is not predictable.

-f,--nofork
    Do not become a daemon. Run in foreground.

FILES
/etc/ax25/ax25ipd.conf

SEE ALSO
ax25ipd.conf(5), ax25(4), kissattach(8).

BUGS
Routing needs to be looked at seriously, the method of routing is a real hack, and improvements to it have only added to the hack.

Logging needs to be properly implemented.

Command line parsing needs to be properly implemented.

@@@ax25ipd@@@ should be part of the Linux AX.25 kernel support probably :-)
