+.SH NAME

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B kissattach [-i inetaddr] [-l] [-m mtu] [-v] tty port
+.SH DESCRIPTION

+Attach a KISS interface to what is normally a tty line connected to a TNC in
+KISS mode. This program will turn itself into a background process. To down
+an interface send its kissattach process a SIGKILL.

+.B Kissattach
+takes many of the parameters for the port from the axports(5) file. If the
+speed parameter in the file is not equal to zero then it is used for the
+serial port speed, a zero value means that no speed is set. The paclen
+parameter is used for the device mtu unless overridden by a value on the
+command line.
+.LP
+The tty argument will typically be that of a serial port with a KISS TNC
+attached, although it could be a psuedo tty or a KISS port emulator such as
+an SCC card. The port arguments is the name of a port as given in the
+axports(5) file.
