110750 TEM: A Terminal Emulator for RSX-11 Version: 90.012, May 1990 Submitted by: Thomas R. Wyant III, E. I. du Pont de Nemours, Richmond, VA Operating System: RSX-11M-PLUS V3.0, VAX-11 RSX Source Language: MACRO-11 Memory Required: 16KW Hardware Required: Dial-out Modem Keywords: Data Communications, Emulators, Utilities - RSX-11 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 transfers between systems. TEM has been used to communicate with RSX-11, VMS, RSTS and TOPS-20 systems, as well as non-Digital Equipment Corporation equipment. It requires no software on the remote system (and therefore has no error checking). In addition to the basic functionality, TEM can automatically issue canned commands to smart modems at the beginning and end of a session. Features . Local Echo. . Automatic line feed on carriage return. . Passthru of control/s, control/q, control/o and control/x to the remote system. . User selectable attention and end-of-file characters. . Inbound and outbound character mapping. . Specifiable record delay and prompt character for file transfer. . Parity generation and checking. . Eight BIT character support. . Input line analysis, in ASCII, Binary, Octal, Decimal, or Hex. TEM requires at least RSX-11M-PLUS V2.0, VAX-11 RSX V2.0, RSX-11M V4.0 or RSX-11S V4.0. If running under RSX-11M or RSX-11S, it requires the full-duplex TT: driver, get/set multiple characteristics, and unsolicited input AST's. Correct access of named directories and files numbered in decimal requires the FEAT$ directive. The GIN$ directive is used to prevent nonprivileged users from using TEM to read files that are none of their business (e.g. LB:[0,0]RSX11.SYS). An attempt has been made to conditionalize TEM for RSX-11M V3.2, but it has not been checked. TEM can be initiated from and communicate with any reasonable serial device, but there may be restrictions if not being used on a TT:-type device. Notes: Executable and/or object code is included. Changes and Improvements: Eight BIT support. Data line monitoring in Binary, Octal, Decimal, or Hex (in addition to ASCII). Restrictions: Operating System RSX-11M V4.0 or RSX-11M PLUS V2.0 or later is required. Media (Service Charge Code): 600' Magnetic Tape (MA) Format: DOS-11
