.LM 1 .I -1 1 CALLOUT .BR The CALLOUT utility is used to connect the user's current terminal transparently to another terminal line on the system. This is most useful when the other terminal is a line to another computer system or to an outbound, auto-dial modem. In this case, CALLOUT allows any terminal on the local system to access another computer system. .S 1 The format of the CALLOUT command is: .S 1 .I 4 _$ CALLOUT[/qualifiers] terminal-device-name .S 1 .I -1 2 Command__definition .BR The CALLOUT command must be defined prior to use. Use .S 1 .I 4 _$ SET COMMAND PRIV:CALLOUT .S 1 .I -1 2 Commands .BR The interrupt character, which is control-A (_^A) by default, forces CALLOUT into command mode. Command mode indicates that it is expecting a command with a prompt of the form: .SK 1 .I 4 Callout [system__name]> .SK 1 where "system__name" is the network node name of the host computer running Callout. When the prompt appears, a single command will be accepted and processed. Current commands are: .SK 1 .LM +4 HELP#########Lists valid commands. .BR SPAWN########Spawn a DCL subprocess. .BR INTERRUPT#n##Change ASCII value of interrupt character to n. .BR SEND######n##Send character with ASCII value n. .BR EXIT#########Exit the program. .LM -4 .S 1 .I -1 2 Parameter .BR The CALLOUT command requires a single device name as the input parameter. The device specified should be a terminal connected to another terminal port. For example, a terminal line to another computer system or to a modem capable of originating a call. .S 1 .I -1 2 Qualifiers .I -1 /INTERRUPT=n .BR Specifies the ASCII value of the interrupt character that signals entry into CALLOUT command mode. The "Callout>" prompt will appear, and a single command (documented under the "Commands" subtopic) will be accepted and processed. .SK 1 The default for this qualifier is /INTERRUPT=1, the ASCII value for control-A (_^A). .SK 1 .I -1 /SPEED=n .BR Specifies the baud rate of the outgoing terminal line. This must be a legal baud rate. .SK 1 The default for this qualifier is /SPEED=1200. .SK 1 .I -1 /ECHO .BR Indicates that characters typed by the user are to be echoed locally. This is useful when the remote system does not support full-duplex character echoing. .SK 1 The default for this qualifier is /NOECHO, indicating that characters typed are not to be echoed locally. .SK 1
