hyperterminal or analogue on OpenVMS

[Alex Chupahin]

Hello!
Is there a terminal emulator program for OpenVMS
to access any hardware (UPS switch etc) via null-modem cable ?

SET HOST /DTE

Hein.

Try "set host /dte". For more options look at the VMS help for set host /dte.

Hello Alex,

Have you tried "$ SET HOST /DTE"? We use it in similar situations.

Hi Alex!

C-Kermit is probably the best you can get.

I use SET HOST /DTE (normally from a DECterm)
for interactive use (because it's always
there), and Kermit if I need to script
something (like restarting my Cisco 678 DSL
modem/router automatically).

If you could attach your serial device to a terminal server, you open up options such as TELNET or SET HOST/LAT. Lantronix still makes "modern" terminal servers ie. you wouldn't have to go to the wrecking yard and dig out a DECserver!

> SET HOST /DTE

Still unclear.
This command should be followed by device name.
It is unclear what is the device for com port 0
/dev/ttyS0 in Linux notation.

[Art Wiens]

Depending on the system model and where you have physically plugged in the cable, it's most likely TTA0:

$ SHOW DEVICE TT might help you.

Cheers,

hmm, still unuseful

I have fta2:. I'm not sure it is com 0.

I have no '@' key - cant press ctrl/@

C-Kermit is for transfer files between hosts via null-modem cable, isnt it?

No useful utilites such as minicom ?
