The AX.25 softare has no support +for multiple TNCs sharing the same serial line. The +different ports are addressed by encoding the port number in the control +byte of every 6pack frame. +.B m6pack +watches a serial port, and routes 6pack frames to/from the pseudo ttys. The +other side of the pseudo ttys are then attached with +.B spattach +as normal. +.sp 1 +Statistics about the operation of +.B m6pack +may be obtained by sending the SIGUSR1 signal to the running program. On +reception of such a signal +.B m6pack +will print a set of statistics to the system log if logging has been +enabled. +.sp 1 +Although mention is made of using pseudo ttys as the last arguments, +these devices may be normal serial ports. However +.B m6pack +provides no way in which to set their speed, the speed must therefore be set +by some other method. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP 10 +.BI \-l +Enables system logging, the default is off. +.TP 10 +.BI "\-s speed" +Set the speed of the serial port. +.TP 10 +.BI \-v +Display the version. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR spattach (8), +.BR ifconfig (8), +.BR kill (1). +.SH AUTHORS +Iņaki Arenaza EB2EBU , based in the work by: +.br +Tomi Manninen OH2BNS +.br +Jonathan Naylor G4KLX +.br +Kevin Uhlir N0BEL -- cgit v1.2.3
