VMS Help SET, HOST, /DTE, Qualifiers  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

1 - /BREAK

       /BREAK=break-character

    Selects the break character. The break character is used to
    generate a break on lines that expect a break rather than a
    carriage return. To generate a break, press Ctrl/break-character.

    The break character can be any ASCII character between @ and
    z, except C, M, Q, S, Y, or the left bracket ([).  You cannot
    select a character currently defined as either the command
    character (see the description of the /COMMAND=command-character
    qualifier) or the escape character (see the description of the
    /ESCAPE=escape-character qualifier).

    The ASCII characters between @ and z include the alphabetic
    characters in both upper and lower cases, the at sign (@),  the
    backslash (\),  the right bracket (]), the circumflex (^),  the
    underscore (_),  and the grave accent (`).

    By default, the break character is the right bracket (]).

2 - /COMMAND

       /COMMAND=command-character

    Selects the command character. Use the command character to
    access DTE command mode by pressing Ctrl/command-character.

    The command character can be any ASCII character between @ and z,
    except C, M, Q, S, Y, or the left bracket ([).  You cannot select
    a character currently defined as either the break character (see
    the description of the /BREAK=break-character qualifier) or the
    escape character (see the description of the /ESCAPE=escape-
    character qualifier).

    The ASCII characters between @ and z include the alphabetic
    characters in both upper and lower cases, the at sign (@),  the
    backslash (\),  the right bracket (]), the circumflex (^),  the
    underscore (_),  and the grave accent (`).

    By default, the command character is the at sign (@).

3 - /DIAL

       /DIAL=(NUMBER:number[,MODEM_TYPE:modem-type])

    Allows a modem attached to the outgoing terminal line to be
    autodialed using the autodial protocol of that modem. The
    NUMBER keyword is the telephone number to be autodialed and is
    a required parameter.

    Before you dial a new number, you must log out of the current
    remote system.

    On Alpha, the MODEM_TYPE keyword defaults to DMCL (any modem that
    uses the DEC Modem Command Language).

    On VAX, the MODEM_TYPE keyword is optional. It can be used to
    specify any of the following modem types:

    o  DMCL (any modem that uses the DEC Modem Command Language)

    o  DF03 (default)

    o  DF112

    Each modem type requires a specific modem dialer code. Check with
    your system manager to see which modem dialer codes are installed
    on your system.

    In addition, the MODEM_TYPE keyword can be used to specify
    a modem type other than DF03, DF112, or DMCL. A template is
    provided for users interested in supporting other modems with
    autodial capabilities (see SYS$EXAMPLES:DTE_DF03.MAR).

4 - /ECHO

       /ECHO
       /NOECHO (default)

    Determines whether the terminal input is echoed by your local
    system. By default, all echoing is performed by the remote
    system.

5 - /EIGHT_BIT

       /EIGHT_BIT (default)
       /NOEIGHT_BIT

    Determines whether the outgoing terminal line supports 8-bit or
    7-bit characters. By default, 8-bit characters are supported. If
    you specify /NOEIGHT_BIT, then 7-bit characters are supported.

6 - /ERROR_ACTION

       /ERROR_ACTION=CONTINUE (default)
       /ERROR_ACTION=EXIT

    Specifies the error action by using the EXIT or the CONTINUE
    keyword.

    When an error is detected on the outgoing terminal line, the
    error is reported to the local system and an error message is
    displayed on your terminal.

    If the error action is CONTINUE, then communication with the
    remote system continues uninterrupted.

    If the error action is EXIT, then the local system immediately
    exits from the remote system.

7 - /ESCAPE

       /ESCAPE=escape-character

    Selects the escape character. You can use the escape character to
    exit from DTEPAD by pressing Ctrl/ escape-character.

    The escape character can be any ASCII character between @ and z,
    except C, M, Q, S, Y, or the left bracket ([).  You cannot select
    a character currently defined as either the break character (see
    the description of the /BREAK=break-character qualifier) or the
    command character (see the description of the /COMMAND=command-
    character qualifier).

    By default, the escape character is a backslash (\).

    The ASCII characters between @ and z include the alphabetic
    characters in both upper and lower cases, the at sign (@),  the
    backslash (\),  the right bracket (]), the circumflex (^),  the
    underscore (_),  and the grave accent (`).

8 - /FLOW_CONTROL

       /FLOW_CONTROL (default)
       /NOFLOW_CONTROL

    Determines whether XON/XOFF flow control is enabled. By default,
    flow control is enabled.

    XON/XOFF flow control is a means of preventing data-overrun
    errors. Incoming data is stored in receive buffers; when these
    buffers are full, a signal is sent to the remote system to stop
    transmission. Once there is sufficient space in the receive
    buffers, another message is sent to restart transmission.

    You should disable XON/XOFF flow control when the remote system
    has no XON/XOFF flow control.

9 - /INIT

       /INIT[=filespec] (default)
       /NOINIT

    Sets the configurable characteristics of DTEPAD according to
    values contained in the specified initialization file.

    If you use qualifiers in the command line to define the values of
    any of the configurable characteristics, these will supersede the
    values contained in the initialization file.

    By default, DTEPAD tries to translate the logical name DTEPAD$INI
    in order to find the appropriate initialization file. If you
    use the /INIT qualifier and omit the file specification, DTEPAD
    translates the logical name DTEPAD$INI and finds the appropriate
    file. If DTEPAD$INI is not defined, then DTEPAD uses /NOINIT as
    the default.

    An initialization file can contain any combination of any of the
    following DTE commands:

    o  SAVE

    o  SEND BREAK

    o  SET DTE

    o  SPAWN

    The following is an example of an initialization file:

    SET DTE/MAX_BUFFERS=150
    SET DTE/READ_DELAY=100
    SEND BREAK

10 - /LOG

       /LOG[=filespec]
       /NOLOG (default)

    Controls whether a log file of the session is kept.

    If you use the /LOG qualifier and omit the file specification,
    then the log information is written to the file DTEPAD.LOG.

    When used to log a modem session, the log file contains any noise
    that occurred on the phone line. For example, typing a file in
    order to get it recorded in the log file could result in noise
    being recorded along with the file data. Therefore, the use of a
    log file is not recommended for the purpose of file transfers.

    Compaq recommends that you use asynchronous DECnet to transfer
    files.

11 - /MAX_BUFFERS

       /MAX_BUFFERS=number-buffers

    Specifies the maximum number of receive buffers. Receive buffers
    are buffers used to receive incoming data from the modem port.
    They are allocated as they are required.

    By default, the maximum number of receive buffers is 100. The
    minimum number you can specify is 20.

12 - /PARITY

       /PARITY=NONE (default)
       /PARITY=ODD
       /PARITY=EVEN

    Selects parity on the outgoing terminal line.

13 - /READ_DELAY

       /READ_DELAY=delay

    Specifies the modem port read delay in milliseconds. The modem
    port read delay is the time interval during which data in the
    modem port is transferred into receive buffers at the terminal.

    By default, the modem port read delay is 50 milliseconds. This is
    also the minimum value.

    A long modem port read delay slows the rate at which data is
    displayed at your terminal, and also increases the risk of data-
    overrun errors; however, a longer read delay requires less CPU
    overhead.

14 - /SPEED

       /SPEED=(output-rate,input-rate)

    Sets the baud rate at which the terminal receives and transmits
    data. If the input and output rates are the same, specify the
    qualifier as /SPEED=rate.

    Not all terminals support different input and output baud rates.
    For specific information on baud rates for your terminal, consult
    the manual for that terminal.

    The default transmission rates are installation dependent.

    The valid baud rates are as follows:

     50       150       1800       4800       38400
     75       300       2000       7200       57600
    110       600       2400       9600       76800
    134      1200       3600      19200      115200

    If you select an invalid or unsupported speed, then the terminal
    line speed will remain set at its previous value.
