rtelnet
Remote Annex Administrator's Guide for UNIX
Book C-244
The rtelnet daemon establishes a Telnet connection between a serial line
on the Annex and a character special file on the host (/dev file).
Table C-79 describes the arguments for rtelnet. The syntax is:
rtelnet [–abcdfhkmnoprstCDFOPRTV] [-lfile] [-uuser] [-Mmode]
annex_id annex_port /dev/new_dev_name
The rtelnet utility runs on top of the pseudo-terminal facility provided
by UNIX hosts. A pseudo-terminal is a pair of character devices: a master
side and a slave side. The slave side presents an interface resembling a
tty device; it is driven by the rtelnet process operating on the master side.
Generally, applications written for use with the Annex should not use
rtelnet to connect to serial ports. Instead, the ports should be
configured as slave or adaptive and applications should use TCP to
connect to them directly (see The Port Server and Rotaries on page
A-71).
