POKE - port selector communication tool.

connect MICOM port selector's console port to a VAX terminal port.
Then from your office, logged in to the VAX, you can control the
port selector (for example):

$ poke						;VMS command (symbol)
POKE> sta l1 l2					;port selector command
L001 C000 S ABR T03 I000    LT01 IDLE		;port selector reply
L002 C001 S9600 T03 I000  X LT01 CONN 348	; "      "      "
POKE> msg 0 d

Welcome to the CAM port selector.
All systems are up.

POKE> @pmmess.dat				;indirect command file
MSG 0 E

Original writer no longer with department, wishes to remain anonymous.
Try the executable image first, it might work.
You may have to $ ASSIGN/SYSTEM ddcu TTJ0 since written for TTJ0:
Good luck if you need to rebuild it.
All I have done is collected all the pieces, and
made a command file to build it.
I wanted to make mods, but no luck.
Particularily, change the TT: references to SYS$INPUT
and SYS$OUTPUT so POKE can be run from command files
or batch jobs, but I don't understand IO to TT: vs. IO to SYS$INPUT/OUTPUT yet.
Look for rewrite on next tape
Currently can only run from interactive terminal,
but a command file can be run e.g. POKE> @PSCONFIG
Feel free to call or write (I prefer you write)
