When dealing with an AX.25 utility such as +.B call, +it takes an optional argument that is the port name. This port name is a +reference to the line within +.B axports, +which has that name as its first argument. The information on each line +contains enough information to bind the command to a particular physical AX.25 +interface, this binding is done by matching the callsign on the line in +.B axports +with the callsign of the port set by +.B kissattach. +.LP +The lines within +.B axports +must either be a comment line, which starts with a # in the first column, or +a port description in the following format, each field being delimited by +white space: +.sp +.RS +name callsign speed paclen window description +.RE +.sp +The field descriptions are: +.sp +.RS +.TP 14 +.B name +is the unique identifier of the port.
