NAME

rsdwnlnk - User exit from the ROSE network.

SYNOPSIS

rsdwnlnk <port> <call>

DESCRIPTION

Therdwnplnkprogram allows a user to leave the ROSE network using the standardpseudo-digipeating method. Recent Linux kernels are aware of this form ofoperation and theax25dprogram can create such connections. The normal mode of operation of aROSE switch is to have one ROSE address (ie port) per physical AX.25 port.Therefore ROSE users coming in on a given ROSE port will come out of theassociated AX.25 port.

To usersdwnlnkyou need an entry inax25d.confto listen for incoming ROSE connections to any callsigns that are notmatched by the more specific ROSE entries. In the example below, I will belistening for ROSE connections on my ROSE port rs144, the exiting AX.25connection will be via the associated AX.25 port, 144, using the callsign KE4GAJ-10. Please note that the callsign should be on the same line as therest of the command, it may be wrapped onto the next line on your screen.

#
