         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 sys- 
         tems, 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. 
             * Inbound and outbound character mapping. 
             * Specifiable record delay and prompt  character  for  file 
                 transfer. 
             * Parity generation and checking. 
             * Support for dialout modems as remote devices. 
 
              TEM requires at least  RSX-11M+  V2.0,  VAX-11  RSX  V2.0, 
         RSX-11M  V4.0,  or  RSX-11S  V4.0.  If running under RSX-11M or 
         RSX-11S, it requires the full-duplex TT:  driver, get/set  mul- 
         tiple  characteristics,  and  unsolicited input AST's.  Correct 
         access of named directories and files numbered in  decimal  re- 
         quires the FEAT$ directive.  The GIN$ directive is used to pre- 
         vent nonprivileged users from using TEM to read files that  are 
         none  of  their  business (eg:  LB:[0,0]RSX11.SYS).  An attempt 
         has been made to conditionalize TEM for  RSX-11M  V3.2,  but  I 
         have no way to check it.  TEM can be initiated from and commun- 
         icate with any reasonable serial device, but there may be  res- 
         trictions if not being used on a TT:-type device.
