There was a program for the PDP-11 called Comm which was sort of a terminal emulator. The keystrokes would pass right through the program as if the VT100 was connected directly to the RS232 line and the PDP-11 was not there. When you hit ^N however, it would display a menu. You could have Comm send a file and then return to being transparent. Comm was really handy for sending files on old network I use occasionally which has only RS232 hookups. The PDP-11 and Comm are now gone. On a MicroVAX the following command file will allow connection through a terminal port to the net. $ ALLOCATE/NOLOG TTA1: $ SET TERMINAL TTA1: /NOBROADCAST /TYPEAHEAD /NOWRAP /SPEED=(4800) $ ASSIGN/USER SYS$COMMAND SYS$INPUT $ SET HOST/DTE TTA1: $ DEALLOCATE TTA1: $ EXIT This does not provide for sending files however. Does anyone have a program which will send a file? Lee W. Spencer Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore, California 94550 415/422-4920 SPENCER%FTS121@LLL-ICDC.ARPA
