The +paclen parameter is used for the device mtu unless overridden by a value on +the command line. The port argument is the name of a port as given in the +nrports(5) file. +.LP +.B Nrattach +tries to find the first free NET/ROM device in the system. The devices +checked are nr0, nr1, nr2 and nr3 in that order. If no free NET/ROM device +is available an error is generated and the program terminates. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP 16 +.BI "\-i inetaddr" +Set the internet address of the interface. This address may either be a +dotted decimal address or a host name. +.TP 16 +.BI "\-m mtu" +Sets the mtu of the interface. If this value is not given then the value is +taken from the paclen parameter in nrports. +.TP 16 +.BI \-v +Display the version. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR netrom (4), +.BR nrparms (4), +.BR nrports (5), +.BR ifconfig (8). +.SH BUGS +The program can be run many times with the same arguments creating many +instances of the same attributes on different devices. Not a good idea. +.SH AUTHOR +Jonathan Naylor G4KLX <g4klx@g4klx.demon.co.uk> |
