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.
