.TH RXECHO 8 "15 October 1996" Linux "Linux System Managers Manual"
.SH NAME
rxecho \- Route AX.25 packets between ports transparently.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B rxecho [-l] [-v]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.B Rxecho
copies AX.25 frames between interfaces without altering their contents. The
purpose of this utility is to allow other AX.25 aware programs/computers to
share the same AX.25 ports as the Linux kernel AX.25 code. It could be used
to route packets out onto another serial port to allow another machine
running DOS based programs to share the same radio ports as the Linux
machine, or it could route packets out onto a pseudo-tty to another
application on the same machine. The copying could even be to another
radio port.
.LP
The copying of the packets is controlled by a configuration file
rxecho.conf(5), which can be set up to selectively copy packets.
