+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+.B Call
+is the general purpose AX.25, NET/ROM and Rose connection program. As is normal
+in AX.25 it runs entirely in line mode. All CR/LF translation is done
+transparently. The program provides ASCII, YAPP, YAPP-C and 7+ file
+transfer facilities. Some of the options are only valid in AX.25 mode,
+the program will quietly ignore them if given in NET/ROM mode or in Rose
+mode.
+.LP
+This version of
+.B call
+incorporates many changes that include a much improved user interface. The
+port name is mandatory and is the name of the port which the connection will
+be made on. The port name may be either an AX.25, a NET/ROM port or a Rose
+port,
+.B call
+will determine which automatically.
+.LP
+When using NET/ROM the use of digipeaters is meaningless and is not
+supported. However when using Rose up to one digipeater may be specified, as
+well as the Rose address of the distant node and the callsign of the remote
+station. The Rose address must be ten digits long and it must exist in the
+Rose node tables. For Rose connects to work
+.B axparms
+must have been used to set a callsign/uid mapping for the userid in use.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP 10
+.BI "\-b l|e"
+Sets the method of backoff to use with AX.25 connections. The default is
+taken from the port specification, but can be overridden by this option.
+Valid values are
+.B l
+for linear backoff, and
+.B e
+for exponential backoff.
+.TP 10
+.BI \-d
+Turn on socket level debugging.
+.TP 10
+.BI \-h
+Selects Slave mode.
+.TP 10
+.BI "\-m s|e"
+Sets the AX.25 mode to use. The default is taken from the port
+specification, but can be overridden by this option. Valid values are
+.B s
+for normal (modulus 8) AX.25 operation, or
+.B e
+for extended (modulus 128) AX.25 operation.
+.TP 10
+.BI "\-p paclen"
+Specify a specific maximum amount of data to be sent in each AX.25 packet. 
+.TP 10
+.BI \-r
+Selects Raw mode.
+.TP 10
+.BI \-t
+Selects Talk mode.
+.TP 10
+.BI \-v
+Display the version.
+.TP 10
+.BI "\-w window"
+Specify a specific AX.25 window for this connection. Only valid in AX.25 mode.
