.SH NAME
tp0bridge \- TCP/X.25 TP0 bridge
.SH SYNOPSIS
.in +.5i
.ti -.5i
.B \*(SDtp0bridge
\%[\-p\ portno]
\%[\-d]
.in -.5i
(under /etc/rc.local)
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fItp0bridge\fP server listens for connections from TCP hosts on a
well known socket
(defined as tcp/tp0bridge in /etc/services,
this may be overridden with the `\-p' switch).
Once a connection is accepted a miniscule protocol
identifies the client as either requesting a connection out onto an
X.25 network, or for the daemon to listen for incoming X.25
connections on a particular X.25 address.
.PP
The \fItp0bridge\fP implements the transport class 0 protocol on top
of TCP/IP using the protocol described in RFC\-1006. This is mapped
into a suitable form for the X.25 network and vice-versa.
.SH "DEBUG OPERATION"
If \fItp0bridge\fR is started interactively,
or if the `\-d' switch is given,
then debug mode is entered.
In this case,
all logging activity is displayed on the user's terminal.
In addition,
the logging information is more verbose.
