[335,50] CATCH	is a program that is equivalent to "PIP filename=TI:".
		On RSX11M systems, you cannot set typeahead serial, and
		using the above PIP line, overruns go to MCR, DCL or CCL
		and not into your file.  This program is multibuffered
		(8 input buffers in a ring, 2 output buffers thru FCS),
		and catches most every thing sent to it.  Note that the
		priority is important, depending on system load.

[335,50] REMOTE	is a program derived from DUPLEX, and creates a link
		from a terminal to another port, say a modem.  This
		is almost a complete rewrite, and handles input through
		the typeahead buffer (the TT: handler is more efficient
		than the AST mechanism), allows "smart" terminals like
		VT100's with smooth scroll to stop the host, not the
		local computer (ie uses READ-PASS-ALLs, ^C is passed
		as ^C, ^S like ^S, etc), uses the new V4.1 feature of
		dial out (can dial out on /REMOTE lines), sets the
		baud rate (for smart modems), and autodials using
		HAYES modem protocal.  A useful program, if I say so 
		myself.  Known problem I hope to find an answer to at
		this symposium:  When transmitting a file with REMOTE,
		the some of the echo (for long lines) is trashed.  Filling
		the typeahead buffer?  Wierd interaction between GET$
		and QIO$?  If anyone fixes this, I'd like the solution.
