- NPS Modifications for KERMIT Installation
-
-
- The primary communication requirements for KERMIT operation
- are that async lines on the DATANET pass all printable ASCII
- characters (as spececified in the KERMIT protocol manual) and
- the CTL-A (SOH) character be passed to Time Sharing. As released
- NPS does not support these requirements, therefore modifications
- must be made prior to KERMIT installation. NPS modules NHMP and
- NTAB must be modified to change the character delete from the
- @ character. Most sites will use the backspace character. The
- NPS Software Release Bulletin addresses the required changes in
- Section 18 for the NT4 release. In the base release the CTL-A (SOH)
- is used as a connect character for a private DAC line. The SOH
- must be replaced with an alternate control character (ie: CTL-T).
- This modification is made in the module NHMP. The code to be
- changed resides in the DACSOH locmop. Any site customization
- which could effect transparency of any ASCII characters or the
- CTL-A character through the DATANET should be reworked prior
- KERMIT installation.
