The other telnets #468

Open larsbrinkhoff opened 7 years ago

larsbrinkhoff commented 7 years ago

We already have working servers and clients for TELNET and SUPDUP using TCP and Chaosnet. So what would we need these for?

SYSENG; STELNT 65 - server telnet
SYSENG; TN6 5 - user telnet, NCP, line-at-a-time (for Multics).
SYSENG; UT 76 - user telnet, NCP
SYSEN1; TN52 624 - user telnet, VT52, NCP
SYSEN2; TELSUP 118 - telnet, supdup, VT52, H19, Datamedia, Teleray, NCP, Chaosnet
CSTACY; TT 21 - telnet, supdup, VT52, NCP, TCP, Chaosnet

These are the ones we use. The first two work for both TCP and Chaosnet.

SYSNET; TELSER 172 - TELNET and SUPDUP server
SYSNET; SUPDUP 325 - SUDUP client
SYSNET; TELNET 752 - TELNET client for TCP
SYSNET; CHTN 15 - TELNET client for Chaosnet

TN6 IS FOR COMMUNICATING OVER THE NET
WITH LINE AT A TIME SYSTEMS SUCH AS MULTICS.
IT IS LIKE TELNET, WITH THE FOLLOWING CHANGES:

INPUT IS NOT SENT TO THE FOREIGN HOST UNTIL YOU HIT RETURN.
LINEFEED SENDS THE INPUT OFF WITHOUT A NEW-LINE SEQUENCE AT THE
END.
RUBOUT IS DONE LOCALLY, AND ON DISPLAY TERMINALS THE LINE IMAGE
IS CORRECTLY MAINTAINED.
CONTROL/V RETYPES THE LINE IN CASE YOU'RE NOT SURE WHAT YOU'VE
RUBBED OUT.
↑P ERASES THE SCREEN. (ON A DATAPOINT, USE CONTROL/ZERO.)
↑K KILLS THE CURRENT LINE.
↑U AND ↑L ARE USED FOR CASE SHIFTING INSTEAD OF \.
