"Auto-Router" Feature;
This feature allows you set up complex links in the packet mode through
digipeaters, etc. without having to remember them all! It provides "callsign busy"
and timeout detection.
The files available for "auto-router" transmission all have the file extension .RTR.
To invoke the "auto-router" feature, press <Alt> +A, then select the router file
you wish to transmit and press <Enter>. This will send the file to the TNC, one
line at a time, upon each detection of a connected state.
If a "callsign busy," timeout, or keypress is detected, the "auto-router" will issue a
disconnect to the TNC to "tear down the link."
An actual "auto-router" example file is illustrated below. Remember that comment
lines are helpful (begin each comment line with a semicolon). They will help you
in editing the file, but are not transmitted to the controller.

; file to be recognized as an Auto-Router file!)
