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. -.LP -The call program interprets lines beginning with a '~' specially. -The following '~' escapes are available. -.TP 16 -.BI ~? -List escapes -.TP 16 -.BI ~~ -A ~ symbol -.TP 16 -.BI ~. -Close connection -.TP 16 -.BI "~!

These are left -up to the console facilities of the terminal in use.
