Terminal Server - User and Administration Guide

There are three mandatory arguments the daemon requires to
mediate between the client and server port:
Server:
The host name of the Terminal Server that has
the attached printer or terminal.
Port:
The TCP port on which the server port is
listening for connection requests.
A mnemonic filename in /dev which shall be
Link:
linked to the slave pseudo-tty selected by the
daemon. This should be used as the interface
device for client processes since the pseudo-tty
may change during the daemon lifetime.
The other optional arguments modify the behaviour of the
daemon in the way it controls connections, and processes
data to and from the peripheral. They are defined as follows:
Enable Telnet protocol processing. This is useful to
-T
ensure that the last data block of a print job has reached
the Terminal Server before closing the TCP connection.
If the end of print jobs are still being lost despite using
this option then it is advised to set the stty option ' noflsh '
on the slave pseudo-tty if it is supported. This may
require the -m or -a options. Alternatively, most line
printer spoolers employ a delay before closing the printer
port to ensure no pending output is accidentally flushed.
It may be possible to increase this delay if the above
solutions are not enough. Make sure the port is set to
telnet mode in the Port Setup Menu .
The daemon maintains a continuous TCP connection to the
-p
Terminal Server port. This is useful for applications that
require exclusive and uninterrupted access to a device.
Note that no other daemon will be able to access such a
port if any daemon is running to that port with this option.
