+.TH AX25RTD 8 "11 November 2003" Linux "Linux Programmer's Manual"
+.SH NAME
+ax25rtd \- AX.25 routing daemon
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B ax25rtd
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+.B ax25rtd
+is a daemon that:
+.LP
+- emulates the ceased "autorouter" of Linux Kernel AX.25
+.br
+- sets up ARP entries automagically
+.br
+- may adjust IP routes and encapsulation mode 
+  (although I really do not recomment to use this feature...)
+.LP
+The "autorouter" is not really an autorouter. It just listens to the AX.25
+traffic on your ports and uses this information to setup AX.25 routes. This
+can be turned on or off by altering the configuration file
+/etc/ax25/ax25rtd.conf.
+.LP
+Ax25rtd provides a socket /var/ax25/ax25rtd/control which is used for
+runtime maintainance through
+.B ax25rtctl 
+or to set up new routes by other
+daemons (a Flexnet router, perhaps?)
+.LP
+On startup ax25rtd reads the configuration file and afterwards preloads
+the caches from the files /var/ax25/ax25rtd/ax25_routes and
+/var/ax25/ax25rtd/ip_routes. On SIGTERM or 
+.B ax25rtctl --save 
+it saves the caches to those files.
