30 __[[-c command]__
31
32
33 Execute __command__ when the line is hung up. This can be
34 used to run scripts or re-establish connections when a link
35 goes down.

41 Enable debugging output. Useful when determining why a given
42 setup doesn't work.
43

45 __[[-h]__
46
47
48 Exit when the carrier is lost. This works on both /dev/tty
49 and /dev/cua devices by directly monitoring the carrier
50 status every 15 seconds. __[[-v]__ Enable verbose output.
51 Useful in shell scripts.

81

83 Exit right after initializing device, instead of waiting for
84 the line to hangup.
85
86
87 __[[-L]__
88
89
90 Enable 3 wire operation. The terminal is moved into CLOCAL
91 mode, carrier watching is disabled.
92
93
94 __[[-p proto]__
95
96
97 Set a specific kind of protocol to use on the line. The
98 default is set to __cslip__ , i.e. compressed SLIP. Other
99 possible values are __slip__ (normal SLIP),
100 __adaptive__ (adaptive CSLIP/SLIP), __ppp__
101 (Point-to-Point Protocol) and __kiss__ (a protocol used
102 for communicating with AX.25 packet radio terminal node
103 controllers). The special argument __tty__ can be used to
104 put the device back into normal serial operation. Using
105 'ppp' mode is not normally useful as ppp requires an
106 additional ppp daemon __pppd__ to be active on the line.
107 For kiss connections the __axattach__ program should be
108 used.
109
110
111 __[[-s speed]__
112
113
114 Set a specific line speed, other than the
115 default.
116
117
118 If no arguments are given, the current terminal line
119 (usually: the login device) is used. Otherwise, an attempt
120 is made to claim the indicated terminal port, lock it, and
121 open it.
