Kermit for Intel ISIS
The ISIS Kermit program was received from Columbia University. Since there
was no documentation, this User's Guide is provided by the DSSO department of
Intel (1).
The ISIS Kermit provides dumb terminal emulation and file transfer for
Intel Series II, Series III and Series IV computers running the ISIS operation
system. It has the basic Kermit features.
Kermit is invoked as follows:-
KERMIT [baud rate] [port]
The default baud rate is 2400 and the default port is 1. The allowable choices
are:-
. Baud rate: 300 1200 2400 4800 9600
. Port: 1 2
On some systems the highest reliable baud rate may only be 1200, however, 2400
baud has proved to be reliable enough when the host machine was either a
DECSystem-20 (running TOPS-20) or a VAX-11/785 (running VMS).
The command set is listed below. All commands may be abbreviated with the
first letter, however, commands are only accepted if they are typed in
lower-case.
o connect
Connects as a dumb terminal to remote systems.
To get back to ISIS-Kermit level from connect mode, the escape
sequence is just the single character: Control-D.
To avoid characters being lost whilst in dumb terminal mode and
operating at a baud rate of 2400 (or greater) it is recommended that
you set some appropriate terminal characteristics. For example:-
1. For TOPS-20 use:-
TERMINAL SYSTEM-DEFAULT
TERMINAL WIDTH 80
TERMINAL NO RAISE
2. For VMS use:-
SET TERMINAL/CRFILL:8/LFFILL:8
