I posted the article below several days ago, dut didn't
receive any answers yet. Maybe it got lost. So let's try again.
I'm looking for a way to create a so-called remote terminal, which
connects to a hardwired terminal on a different DECnet node.
So on my node I'd like to have a device called _RTAx:
which connects, through DECnet, to a terminal TTAx: on another
DECnet node. Then I want to use the SMG$xxxx library calls
to do single character i/o on it.
In the VMS manuals, the only way that it's described is through
the DCL command SET HOST.
After using this command, a new device with the name _RTAx:
is created on the host on which I'm logging in, and a DECnet
link is set up to an object called CTERM in the REMACP image.
I can't find any description of this in the VMS manuals.
I wonder, does anyone know of a way to do this kind of thing
from within an application?
We're running VMS 4.5 on a 750, but it should also work
on a uVAX (3500).
I'd appreciate any help, by mail or through the net.
