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.
