.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl i Ar tapdev
tap(4) device.
.It Fl p Ar port
UDP port number.
This needs to be 1029 to connect to the corresponding MacOS control panel.
.It Fl n
Disable timeouts when not sending/receiving data.
.El
.Pp
You can use this control panel on your Macintosh Computer running at least
AppleTalk version 58 or above with System 6 or 7.
The STR "severname" resource with the control panel from B.Braun needs to be modified with
the address of the server running this daemon.

This will make it possible to print and run a file share over
.Xr ppp 4 .

This is for use with the
.Pa netatalk22
package from pkgsrc.
The
.Xr tap 4 device must be set up as a phase 1 address and apfpd.conf should have
the option
.Sq -tickleval -1
added to afpd.conf to disable session tickles which
if left in the defaults will cause the print/file share to disconnect.
.Pp
Password authentication is not used from the control panel at present.

.Sh EXAMPLES
Add the following to
.Xr rc.conf 5
with the correct configured
.Xr tap 4
device:
.Dl atalkvpnd=YES
.Dl atalkvpnd_flags="-n -i /dev/tap0"
