+.TH NRSDRV 8 "22 December 1996" Linux "Linux System Managers Manual"
+.SH NAME
+nrsdrv \- KISS to NET/ROM serial converter
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B nrsdrv [-f] [-l] [-s speed] [-v] kissdev nrsdev
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+.B Nrsdrv
+is a program designed to convert from the KISS protocol to the NET/ROM
+serial protocol used by real NET/ROM's and TheNet's. The protocols are
+fairly similar, although the NET/ROM serial protocol does include a one byte
+checksum which KISS does not.
+.sp 1
+Typically
+.B nrsdrv
+will be attached to one end of a pseudo-tty of which the other end has been
+attached to a KISS capable program. The NET/ROM device will probably be a
+real serial port attached to a TNC or a Hexipus. The full specification of
+the NET/ROM serial protocol can be found in the original Software 2000
+documentation that accompanied NET/ROMs.
