    One real pitfall here is the portname, netrom, its so simple but so
    confusing, yes it works with "netrom" as thats what nr0 is called here, but
    on the otherhand normally speaking netrom connects go via an "ax25"
    interface, such as scc3 like i was trying to use.
    Possably a mention of this in the man page would be of much help to dummies
    like me and a million others who seems to be in the same boot, or so it would
    seem.

    Just one question left, why is it that netrom_call ejects such confusing
    error messges when it is abused by dummies like "me", i am sure it should
    surpt out "readable" error messages even when invoked on a "remote telnet
    link".

    Thanks anyway, i am looking forward to see if it helps John.
