NAME

       rmtermd  - Old style DECnet terminal services for Linux

SYNOPSIS

       rmtermd
       [options]
       Options:
       [-dvVh] [-l logtype]

DESCRIPTION

       Allows remote PDP-11 users to connect as a terminal over DECnet.

       This  application implements the DTERM protocol over DECnet for allowing a remote DECnet host emulating a
       DEC VT100 terminal to connect to Linux.  DTERM is the old OS-dependent  network  terminal  protocol  that
       predates  CTERM;  it  is  needed to support access from PDP-11 systems, which do not support CTERM.  Note
       that this daemon implements the TOPS-20 variant of that protocol; the client at  the  other  end  has  to
       speak  that  version.   For example, under DECnet/E (for RSTS/E) you have to use the "unsupported" multi-
       protocol version of "set host".

       Normally this daemon will be run from dnetd(8) rather than by hand.

OPTIONS

       -l     Set logging options. The following are available:
              -lm Log to /dev/mono. (only useful if you have my mono monitor  driver  or  mdacon  and  a  second
              monitor)
              -le Log to stderr. Use this for debugging or testing combined with -d.
              -ls Log to syslog(3). This is the default if no options are given.

       -d     Don't fork and run the background. Use this for debugging.

       -v     Verbose. The more of these there are the more verbose rmtermd will be.

       -h -?  Displays help for using the command.

       -V     Show the version of rmtermd.

EXAMPLES

       Starting the rmtermd daemon/Connecting to linux from a PDP-11.

       On Linux:

          # rmtermd

       On the PDP-11:

          $ set host pclnx
