-This is the first version of the user_call utilities. They are little
-program,s to allow users of ax25d and the node to initiate outgoing AX.25,
-NET/ROM and Rose connections. They are very powerful program because it can
-pretend to be someone else, so be careful !
-
-My testing has been within the confined of the node, but the comments here
-apply equally well to use via ax25d.
-
-Ax25_call takes at least three parameters:
-
-ax25_call <port> <my callsign> <remote callsign> [<digipeaters> ...]
-
-Netrom_call takes three parameters:
-
-netrom_call <port> <my callsign> <remote address>
-
-Rose_call takes four parameters:
-
-rose_call <port> <my callsign> <remote callsign> <remote Rose address>
-
-The <port> is the name of a local AX.25, NET/ROM or Rose port as defined in
-the axports, nrports or rsports files respectively. <my callsign> is the
-callsign that this connection appears to have come from, ie the local
-*user*. It has nothing to do with your AX.25 port callsign.
-
-Ax25_call must have at least the callsign of the remote user and a set of
-optional digipeaters.
-
-The <remote address> for netrom_call may be of two forms, either the remote
-node callsign, or a combination of the remote node alias and remote node
-callsign seperated by a ':'. Netrom_call only connects to the remote
-callisgn, the full address is sent to the local user for information.
-
-The <remote callsign> for rose_call is the "service" at the remote Rose
-node, ie USERS or any other valid AX.25 callsign, <remote Rose address> is
-the ten-digit Rose address of the remote node.
-
-To start any of these from within the node, you will need to add a line like
-the following to the /etc/ax25/node.conf file, this example uses rose_call:
-
-ExtCmd BBS 0 root /usr/sbin/rose_call rose_call rose %S k4dpz 3100352392
-
-This assumes that rose_call is installed in /usr/sbin which is the default.
-This will create a new command "BBS" for the node, which when typed will
-connect the user to the callsign K4DPZ at remote Rose node 3100352392. The
-callsign of the local user is where the %S appears in the line, it is
-substituted by node for the users callsign. See node.conf(5) for more
-details of the syntax.
-
-Setting up these programs via ax25d is also quite simple and is similar
-conceptually to the example above.
-
-All of these programs generates errors that are received by the local user,
-so if there are any problems then the local user will be able to quote the
-message to you.
-
-Give them a whirl and let me know how you go.
