 Program:	VAXNET & SNDRCV
 Author:	Robin Miller	Project Software & Development, Inc. 1982

Description:

  VAXNET is a program used to transfer ASCII files over an asynchronous
  communications line between two computers.  The progams supplied in
  this directory allow for communications between VAX and VAX or between
  VAX and RSX11M.  Two programs called F2T and T2F allow task images to
  be converted into ASCII records, transferred to the other computer,
  and then converted back to a task image which can be run.

This program has several enhancements over the original which include:

  o  This release has mainly bug fixes and better help than my original
     submission.

  o  The original program was two very large Fortran source modules.
     This release has been broken into smaller modules which make it
     easier to maintain and faster to compile.

  o  The user can now execute DCL commands at the command level (Vaxnet>).

Several problems:

  o  Occasionally the program will get stuck in a HIBERNATE state
     or will exceed its buffer I/O quota (my count was 6).  When
     stuck in the HIBERNATE state, it must be STOPped from another
     terminal.

  o  when VAXNET is talking to another VAX (at 9600 baud), the XON/
     XOFF which the terminal driver sends when the typeahead buffer
     is almost full does not always work properly (loose characters).
     This problem it not so bad when communicating with RSX-11M or
     if the baud rate of the remote terminal port is less than that
     of the local port.  The problem does not exist if the remote
     port is at 1200 baud.

Build Procedures:

  Several command procedures are available for building SNDRCV and VAXNET.
