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

	  Rmtermd Version 1.0.0
