TEM - Terminal EMulator for RSX -- Version: 85.008 PAGE 1 Author: T. R. Wyant III, E. I. DuPont de Nemours, Richmond, VA. Operating System: RSX11M+ V2.0 forward, RSX-11M V4.0 forward. Language: MACRO-11 Memory Required: 14KW Other Hardware Required: Dial-out Modem Keywords: RSX-11; Communications; Terminal Emulator Abstract: TEM provides "dumb" terminal emulation over a full duplex TT: line. It allows the user to "become" a terminal on a remote system, and to do ASCII file transfer between systems. TEM has been used to communicate with RSX, VMS, RSTS, and TOPS-20 systems, as well as non-DEC equipment. It requires no software on the remote system (and therefore has no error checking). In addition to the basic functionality, TEM can automati- cally issue canned commands to smart modems at the beginning and end of a session. The user can also select from the fol- lowing features: * Local Echo * Automatic linefeed on carriage return * Translation of inbound control characters to ASCII abbre- viations * Passthru of control/s, control/q, control/o and control/x to the remote system * User selectable attention and end-of-file characters. * Redefinition of any desired input character to any other. * Specifiable delay and prompt character for file transfer. * Parity generation and checking. TEM requires at least RSX-11M+ V2.0 or RSX-11M V4.0 with the full-duplex TT: driver, get/set multiple characteristics, and unsolicited input AST's. An attempt has been made to con- ditionalize it for RSX-11M V3.2, but I have no way to check it. TEM can be initiated from a terminal on the TT:, HT:, or VT: driver, though there are restrictions on its use from a virtual terminal. It can communicate with any device on the TT:, HT:, or NL: driver.
