-.TH CALL 1 "27 August 1996" Linux "Linux Programmer's Manual"
-.SH NAME
-call \- make an AX.25, NET/ROM or Rose connection.
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-For AX.25
-.br
-.B call [-b l|e] [-d] [-h] [-m s|e] [-p paclen] [-s mycall] [-r] [-t] [-T timeout] [-v] [-w window] [-W] port callsign [[via] digipeaters.....]
-.sp 1
-For NET/ROM
-.br
-.B call [-d] [-h] [-p paclen] [-r] [-t] [-v] port callsign
-.sp 1
-For Rose
-.br
-.B call [-d] [-h] [-r] [-t] [-v] port callsign address [[via] digipeater]
-.br
-.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 "\-s mycall"
-Connect using the specified source call (you may need to be root).
-.TP 10
-.BI \-R
-Disable all remote commands like autobin (#BIN#), 7plus downloads, //echo, etc.
-This is useful for scripting where you just don't like the remote site to trigger uncaught conditions here.
-.TP 10
-.BI \-S
-Be silent. Useful for using call in shellscripts (together with option \-r) in order to be really transparent.
-.TP 10
-.BI "\-T timeout"
-Set idle timeout seconds after a connection will be closed automaticaly when there's no data being transferred (in- and outbound). If timeout is set to 3600, the connection will close after 1h inactivity. A value of 0.5 is 500ms.
-.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.
-.TP 10
-.BI "\-W"
-Wait for remote disconnect even if stdin is closed. Normaly, "echo q | call ax0 db0fhn" closes immediately after "echo q" terminates; thus we never see the greeting from db0fhn. With the -W option, call waits until the ax25-connection is disconnected (i.e. db0fhn disconnects after "q" command). Very useful for scripting. You might like to combine it with the -T option.

-The program provides no terminal emulation features. These are left
-up to the console facilities of the terminal in use. The program is
-however '8 bit clean'.
