The nrports File
How to configure...
The nrports file performs the same functions as the axports file. It supplies basic information about the identification of this network device. I decided to name my port nr0, but you may call it any name that you want as long as you are consistent when referencing it. OH2BNS below named his "netrom."
When you run nrattach, it will assign the network interface nr0 to this port name, nr0, that you referenced here in the nrports file. If you were to run nrattach again, it would try to assign nr1 to some port name found and "defined" in this file.
And again, make sure that the port name and the callsign SSID form a unique pair if you are using more than one netrom device.
