+.TH AXPORTS 5 "15 October 1996" Linux "Linux Programmer's Manual"
+.SH NAME
+axports \- AX.25 port configuration file.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+.B Axports
+is an ASCII file that contains information about each of the physical AX.25
+ports that are to be used. 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
