+.TH AXCTL 8 "2 August 1996" Linux "Linux System Managers Manual"
+.SH NAME
+axctl \- Configure/Kill running AX.25 connections.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B axctl [-v] port dest src -window|-t1|-t2|-t3|-n2|-idle|-paclen|-kill [parm]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The
+.B axctl
+command is designed to be a multi-function command that allows miscellaneous
+commands to be issued to the Linux AX.25 protocol layer for existing AX.25
+connections. The connection is uniquely identified via the combination of
+port, destination callsign and source callsign, with that information the
+kernel is able to change the parameters, or abort the connection.
+.LP
+Many of the options are similar to those found in
+.B axparms
+and perform the same function. Only one parameter may be changed on each
+invokation of
+.B axctl.
