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). 
.PARAGRAPH
In addition to the basic functionality, TEM can automatically
issue canned commands to smart modems at the beginning and end
of a session. The user can also select from the following
features:
.LEFT MARGIN +8
.INDENT -4
* Local Echo
.INDENT -4
* Automatic linefeed on carriage return
.INDENT -4
* Translation of inbound control characters to ASCII
abbreviations 
.INDENT -4
* Passthru of control/s, control/q, control/o and control/x to 
the remote system
.INDENT -4
* User selectable attention and end-of-file characters.
.INDENT -4
* Redefinition of any desired input character to any other.
.INDENT -4
* Specifiable delay and prompt character for file transfer.
.INDENT -4
* Parity generation and checking.
.LEFT MARGIN -8
.PARAGRAPH
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
conditionalize 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.
