multi-terminal support asynchronous terminal status support, and 134

least one extra asynchronous serial interface port appropriate cables
and modem (if needed) for interface to the host, Lear/Siegler or other
dumb terminal.  Keywords: Utilities - RT-11
 
Abstract: The virtual terminal program (LSTERM) is a general
purpose utility to allow any computer running RT-11 to
connect to a host computer as if it were a remote
terminal. No intelligence is assumed by the host
computer.
 
The purpose of LSTERM is to provide two basic
capabilities:
 
. To allow a user to interact with a host computer
  through the RT-11 system
. To allow a user to transfer files between the host
  computer and the RT-11 system
 
When transfering a file to a time-sharing host computer
that is busy with several tasks and several users, it
may not be able to keep up with the steady stream of
input from the RT-11 system via xon/xoff protocol.
 
Note that the VAX/VMS provides this service with the
"SET TERM/HOSTSYNC" command.
