HP NSARPA/1000 manual 15

Block mode for the HP 1000 is technically defined in the RTEA Driver Reference Manual, part number 9207790011.

The following products support block mode applications to the HP 1000:

DARPA/Vectra revision 2.0 (or later) with the Advlink B.02.00 Emulator. On ARPA/Vectra, the RS (record separator) is the default escape character for TELNET. The RS character is also a special character in block mode. The TELNET escape sequence on the PC must be changed to another character.

DARPA/9000 revision 7.0 (or later) with direct connect terminals only. HPTERM is not supported.

DTS8 with LSM 2.1 (or later) software.

DDatacommunications and Terminal Controller (DTC).

Block mode applications over TELNET are not supported on the PC OfficeShare products.

Any TELNET user can communicate with a block mode application on the HP 1000 as long as the local terminal or terminal emulator can handle block mode I/O.

Block mode applications over chained TELNET sessions are not supported.

For block mode applications, terminals directly connected to an HP 1000 require XON/XOFF in both the transmit and receive directions. If the terminal is not set to XON/XOFF in both directions, a slow TELNET session may be overrun by the terminal and data will be lost or the application may hang.

For block mode applications, terminals attached to the TS8 with LSM 2.1 (or greater) software require XON/XOFF in only the receive direction. If XON/XOFF is set for the transmit direction, block mode applications may hang.

Using Telnet

TELNET is scheduled at the RTE Command Interpreter level (CI>). TELNET can be invoked with or without the following parameter.

TELNET [,host]

host	The name of the remote node to which you want to log on. The
	syntax of the host name is node[.domain[.organization]],
	which is further described in the NSARPA/1000 User/Programmer
	Reference Manual. If host is not specified, TELNET displays a
	TELNET prompt and waits for you to enter a TELNET command.

?

Displays TELNET commands and help information. Same as the HELP command.

?[command]

command	Any TELNET command. If no command is specified,
	TELNET lists the TELNET commands, with a oneline
	description for each command. When a command is specified,
	TELNET displays a brief description of the command.
