[net.text] Driving an APS-5

cliffm@tektronix.UUCP (Cliff Morgan) (06/21/84)

   Over the past few months, our group has been involved in bringing
up "ditroff" on a VAX 11/780, and sending the resulting binary files
(through a telecommunications link) to an Autologic APS-5 typesetter.
We are presently sending the files through our corporate ATEX system
via a simple asynch. interface (without flow control).  Due to the
lack of flow control, we are exploring options for upgrading the
interface to the ATEX/APS-5.
   Can anyone make a recommendation on the best way to send files
to an APS-5.  Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.
