[net.micro] Modem7 thru TACs

ELDER@WPAFB-INFO1.ARPA (05/07/84)

I think this point has been addressed before but I can't remember the exact
discussion.  I would like to know what has to be done in order to get Modem7
to operate correctly thru an ARPANET TAC.  We have a VAX/VMS system using
XMODEM and I believe it probably needs some modifications in order to allow
successful file transfers via a TAC.  (I understand that the MODEM program for
DEC-20 systems has some ARPANET code in it.  Could someone explain to what
that code is exacvtly?  I could then try to put this into XMODEM, perhaps).

Also, I believe you must set the Binary Output feature on the TAC (@B O S) and
also (I think) enable flow control on the TAC.  If anyone knows the exact
TAC commands and/or program modifications needed to do this I would
appreciate hearing from you.  Thanks.
