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.
