Abstract:
.BLANK
TEM provides "dumb" terminal emulation over a full duplex TT:
line. It allows the user to "become" a terminal on a remote
system, and to do ASCII file transfer between systems. TEM has
been used to communicate with RSX, VMS, RSTS, and TOPS-20
systems, as well as non-DEC equipment. It requires no software
on the remote system (and therefore has no error checking). 
.PARAGRAPH
In addition to the basic functionality, TEM can automatically
issue canned commands to smart modems at the beginning and end
of a session. The user can also select from the following
features:

* Local Echo.

* Automatic linefeed on carriage return.
.INDENT -4
* Passthru of control/s, control/q, control/o and control/x to 
the remote system.

* User selectable attention and end-of-file characters.
.INDENT -4
* Inbound and outbound character mapping.

* Specifiable record delay and prompt character for file transfer.

* Parity generation and checking.

* Eight-bit character support.

* Input line analysis, in ASCII, binary, octal, decimal, or hex.

TEM requires at least RSX-11M+ V2.0, VAX-11 RSX V2.0, RSX-11M
V4.0, or RSX-11S V4.0. If running under RSX-11M or RSX-11S, it
requires the full-duplex TT: driver, get/set multiple
characteristics, and unsolicited input AST's. Correct access of
named directories and files numbered in decimal requires the
FEAT$ directive. The GIN$ directive is used to prevent
nonprivileged users from using TEM to read files that are none
of their business (eg: LB:[0,0]RSX11.SYS). An attempt has been
made to conditionalize TEM for RSX-11M V3.2, but I have no way
to check it. TEM can be initiated from and communicate with any
reasonable serial device, but there may be restrictions if not
being used on a TT:-type device.
