Asynchronous Communications Support (6024032)

Item number:          6024032

Announcement date:    1981-08-12
Availability date:    1981-08-12
Announcement letter:  281-65  THE IBM PERSONAL COMPUTER


From the announcement:

       This support allows users, with no additional programming
support, to use their IBM Personal Computer as a TTY ASR 33/35
terminal. In addition to the interactive terminal support, the
package provides for the exchange of program and data files between
the IBM Personal Computer and the host system with which it is
communicating as well as between two IBM Personal Computers if both
have the Asynchronous Communications Support.
       The Asynchronous Communications Support Program is designed to
allow connection to most host systems which support TTY ASR 33/35
terminals.  The following terminal parameters may be stored on the
IBM Personal Computer or specified interactively at program
initiation:
*  Bit rate (75 bps to 2400 bps)
*  Parity
*  Number of stop bits
*  Line output turnaround characters
*  Half or full duplex
*  XON/XOFF support
       If additional parameter settings supported by the Asynchronous
Communications Adapter are needed, the user can expand the program
using the BASIC language.
       The program has operated with VM/370 Release 6 and VM/Systems
Product Release 1 on an IBM System/370 Model 158 with an IBM 3705.
       The User's Reference Manual contains a discussion of the VM
system requirements to communicate with the Asynchronous
Communications Support.
       The IBM Personal Computer configuration must include 64KB of
memory, the IBM Personal Computer Disk Operating System (DOS), Disk
BASIC language extensions, and the Asynchronous Communications
Adapter.
