Operating System: RT-11 Source Language: FORTRAN IV Memory Required:
6414.W Software Required: RT-11 version 4.0 sysgened with:
multi-terminal support asynchronous terminal status support, and 134
character input and output ring buffer support. Hardware Required: At
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.
