+.TH NRPORTS 5 "2 August 1996" Linux "Linux Programmer's Manual"
+.SH NAME
+nrports \- NET/ROM port configuration file.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+.B Nrports
+is an ASCII file that contains information about each of the NET/ROM
+ports that are to be used. When dealing with an NET/ROM utility such as
+.B call,
+it takes an optional argument that is the port name. This port name is a
+reference to the line within
+.B nrports,
+which has the same name. The information on each line contains
+enough information to bind the command to a particular NET/ROM
+interface, this binding is done by matching the callsign on the line in
+.B nrports
+with the callsign of the port set by
+.B ifconfig.
+.LP
+The
+.B nrports
+file may contain comments that begin with a # in the first column, or a port
+description in the following format, each field being delimited by white space:
+.sp
+.RS
