# tnt(1)

Packet-Radio Terminal Program

## NAME

tnt - Packet-Radio Terminal Program

## SYNOPSIS

**tnt** *\[-i \<init-file\>\] \[-l \<log-file\>\] \[-u\] \[-d\]*

## DESCRIPTION

**tnt** stands for TNc Terminalprogram.  It allows you to connect to hostmode TNCs as well as the AX.25 kernel ports.  The main use of this program in its current form is to provide an interface to *dpbox* though it is capable of much more.

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.

## OPTIONS

- **-i \<init-file\>**

  Specify the location of the init file (configuration file).

- **-l \<log-file\>**

  Specify the location of the log file.

- **-u**

  Ignore the lockfile (for serial ports).

- **-d**

  Daemon mode, no terminal is brought up.  Use *tntc* to connect to the daemon.
