    I changed the dmascc_cfg command-line interface a little bit (due to the
    new S5SCC/DMA support and a few additional timings that can be configured).
    Unfortunately, in ax25-tools-0.0.8, the man page documents the *old*
    interface.

    The *new* interface is documented in dmascc/README.dmascc.
    Sorry for the confusion.

    AFAICR the most important changes are:

    "--dma -1" required to disable dma, since "--dma 0" is a valid dma
       channel for S5SCC/DMA.

    "--txtime" renamed to "--txtimeout" and requires timeout in *milliseconds*
       not in seconds.
