nrattach - Start a NET/ROM interface
nrattach [-i inetaddr] [-m mtu] [-v] port
takes many of the parameters for the port from the nrports(5) file. The
paclen parameter is used for the device mtu unless overridden by a value on
the command line. The port argument is the name of a port as given in the
tries to find the first free NET/ROM device in the system. The devices
checked are nr0, nr1, nr2 and nr3 in that order. If no free NET/ROM device
is available an error is generated and the program terminates.
Set the internet address of the interface. This address may either be a
dotted decimal address or a host name.
Sets the mtu of the interface. If this value is not given then the value is
taken from the paclen parameter in nrports.
