| 14 | and to define the network source and destination addresses. The | |
| 15 | .I ttyname | |
| 46f57dae MK |
16 | parameter is a string of the form ``ttyXX'', or ``/dev/ttyXX''. |
| 17 | The optional | |
| f80973db MK |
18 | .I baudrate |
| 19 | parameter is used to set the speed of the connection. If not specified, the | |
| 20 | default of 9600 is used. | |
