	Program:	RSXNET
	Author:		Robin Miller / Gary Larsen

     Description:

	RSXNET is a program which allows asynchronous communcations between
     two computers (systems).  Communications can be either directly between
     the computers using a null modem patch cable (see "HELP PATCH" for the
     wiring diagram), or over a dialup line (modem).  Communications with
     the remote system (the system you want to talk to) is accomplished
     using a second port (asynchronous line) on the local system.

     RSXNET is a sub-set of the VAXNET program which runs on VAX/VMS.  The
     VAXNET program is being submitted to the VMS SIG tape for those who
     may be interested.

     Program Features:

	o  Virtual terminal support with no speed limitations.  The remote
	   system must use the XOFF/XON flow control protocol to run at
	   high baud rates (typically greater than 1200 baud) or a loss
	   of characters will result.

	o  Logging of the remote terminal session to a disk file.  After
	   exiting from RSXNET, a program called REFormat is used to create
	   an output file which can then be printed/edited without problems.

	o  File transfers to a remote system.  The SNDRCV program (either
	   FORTRAN or TECO version) is used to transfer files to a remote
	   system with error checking.  When this program is unavailable,
	   the DUMP command within RSXNET can be used to send ASCII text
	   to the remote system running any program which accepts input
	   (such as an editor).

	o  Ability to transfer binary files.  The MISH program converts
	   any type of file to a printable ASCII format (also compressed)
	   which can be transferred to the remote then converted back into
	   its' original file format.
