RSUPLNK(8) Linux Programmer's Manual RSUPLNK(8)NAME
rsuplnk - User entry into the ROSE network.
SYNOPSIS
rsuplnk [-q] <port>
DESCRIPTION
The rsuplnk program allows a user to gain entry into the ROSE network using the standard pseudo-digipeating method. Recent Linux kernels
are aware of this form of operation and the ax25d program can listen for such connections. The normal mode of operation of a ROSE switch is
to have one ROSE address (ie port) per physical AX.25 port. Therefore ROSE users coming in on a given AX.25 port will appear as if they
come from the associated ROSE port. This is the reason for the need for a ROSE port as an argument.
To use rsuplnk you need an entry in ax25d.conf to listen for incoming connections. In the example below, I will be listening for ROSE con-
nections on my AX.25 port 144 using the callsign KE4GAJ-10 and the ROSE port associated with the AX.25 port is rs144.
#
[KE4GAJ-10* VIA 144]
NOCALL * * * * * * L
default * * * * * * - root /usr/sbin/rsuplnk rsuplnk rs144
#
There would typically be one rsuplnk per user access AX.25 port. The associated program for exiting a ROSE network is rsdwnlnk.
All errors generated by rsuplnk are written to the system debug log file.
OPTIONS -q Supresses the messages generated by rsuplnk when making the connection.

AX25_CALL(8) Linux Programmer's Manual AX25_CALL(8)NAME
ax25_call, netrom_call, rose_call, tcp_call - make an AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE or TCP connection
SYNOPSIS
ax25_call [-c] [-i paclen] [-o paclen] port local_call remote_call [digipeaters ...]
netrom_call [-c] [-i paclen] [-o paclen] port local_call remote_netrom_addr
rose_call [-c] [-i paclen] [-o paclen] port local_call remote_call remote_rose_addr
tcp_call [-c] [-i paclen] [-o paclen] remote_addr remote_port
DESCRIPTION
ax25_call, netrom_call, rose_call and tcp_call establish an AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE or a TCP connection in a manner suitable for calling from
either the ax25d program directly, or from the node program as an external command. By setting the command line arguments appropriately it
is possible to set the local callsign from which the call will be made. No translation of the end of lines is performed by this program.
For netrom_call the remote_netrom_addr parameter may either be in the form of a single callsign or as a NET/ROM alias and callsign
pair separated by colon. For example NMCLUS:GB7BPQ.
For rose_call the remote_rose_addr parameter must be in the form of a ten digit ROSE address.
For tcp_call the remote_addr parameter must be a dotted-quad IP address or a hostname and the remote_port must be a service name (see ser-
vices(5)) or a port number.
OPTIONS -c Enables zlib based compression on the incoming connection. Compression algorithm is the same as in LinuxNode (see node(8)).
-i paclen The maximum frame length to be used on the incoming connection. The default is 256 for ax25_call and rose_call, 236 for
netrom_call and 1024 for tcp_call.
-o paclen The maximum frame length to be used on the outgoing connection. The default is 256 for ax25_call and rose_call, 236 for
netrom_call and 1024 for tcp_call.
