When dealing with an NET/ROM 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 nrports, +which has the same name. The information on each line contains +enough information to bind the command to a particular NET/ROM +interface, this binding is done by matching the callsign on the line in +.B nrports +with the callsign of the port set by +.B ifconfig. +.LP +The +.B nrports +file may contain comments that begin 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 alias paclen description +.RE +.sp +The field descriptions are: +.sp +.RS +.TP 14 +.B name +this is the unique NET/ROM port identifier. +.TP 14 +.B callsign +the callsign of the NET/ROM interface to bind to. +.TP 14 +.B alias +this is the alias of the NET/ROM port. +.TP 14 +.B paclen +is the default packet size for this interface. +.TP 14 +.B description +a free format description of this interface, this field extends to the end +of the line.
