+	echicken -at- bbs.electronicchicken.com (VE3XEC)
+
+	This script takes three arguments: TNC, callsign, and SSID.
+	
+	'TNC' is the name of a section from ctrl/kiss.ini, the TNC you wish to
+	use for this call. 'callsign' and 'SSID' are the callsign and SSID of the
+	station you wish to call.
+	
+	This script assumes that the user's comment field is populated with their
+	callsign.  The sysop should take steps to verify that the user is a
+	licensed amateur radio operator before allowing them to run this script.
