         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.
