connection. The connection
will be established, provided:
1. SRI is willing to accept
another foreign user;
2. The UTAH user is cleared
for network access at UTAH.
This is determined by a
status word kept in the PDP-10
monitor for each user.
RFC 15 Network Subsystem for Time Sharing Hosts September 1969
@LOGIN CARR. The user logs in SRI.
-- -----
Characters typed on the user's teletype are transmitted unaltered
through the PDP-10 (user Host) and on to the 940 (serving HOST.)
(The exception to this is a possible one-for-one code conversion
required between the UCLA Sigma 7 and the PDP-10, for example).
@CAL. The PDP-10 TELNET subsystem
- - switches to full duplex,
character-by-character
transmission, since this is
required by 940's. Characters
typed by the user are
underlined. Full duplex
operation is allowed for by
the PDP-10, though not used
by most DEC subsystems.
The user wishes to load a CAL file into 940 CAL from the file system
on his local PDP-10.
CAL AT YOUR SERVICE
>READ FILE FROM NETWRK. 'NETWRK' is a predefined
---------------------- 940 name similar to PAPER
TAPE OR TELETYPE. The 940
file opening BRS is set to
expect an auxiliary connection
and the file from UTAH.
#NETWRK: <- DSK:MYFILE.CAL The user types the prescribed
----------------------------- escape character, followed by
the TELNET command, to send
the desired file to SRI on an
auxiliary connection. The
user's next statement is in
CAL again.
The Telnet Subsystem
The Telnet subsystem coding should fit easily into one core page, for
it does very little. It effectively establishes a shunt in the user
HOST between the remote user and the serving HOST. Telnet commands
are:
RFC 15 Network Subsystem for Time Sharing Hosts September 1969
ESCAPE CHAR IS ___________ Declares a character which
Telnet will watch for.
Subsequent strings typed
between this character and
a carriage return are not
shunted through to the serving
host, but sent instead to the
Telnet program in the user's
local HOST.
This escape character is not the same as the user's host
rubout character.
CONNECT TO __________________ The official site name of the
desired serving HOST is typed
(i.e.: SRI, UTAH, UCLA, UCSB).
Telnet attempts to establish a
connection. If the attempt is
successful, the following
characters are shunted through
the user's local machine. The
connection places the user in
the pre-logged in state at
the serving HOST.
LOGOUT Telnet issues the logout command
=2= |
