Running ttylinkd without specifying a callsign. getpeername() is a call that
is used for a socket, ie someone connecting in over the 'net. The program
assumes that if you don't supply a callsign, then it must be a socket
connection.

You can, if you are something that will supply it a socket. The man page
mentions the -c flag, which is what you need to use. Reading the man page
again, it does need some more work.
