Support for other systems has been added - and further porting is possible with "minor" effort to other systems - based on or similar to UNIX System V. - - ECU provides the classic terminal communications facility of passing - keyboard data to a serial line and incoming data to the computer video - display. In addition, a dialing directory, a function key mapping - feature, and session logging are available. - - A very flexible procedure (script) language is also incorporated to - automate many communications tasks. In addition to augmenting - interactive tasks, by using shell scripts and ECU procedures, ECU can - perform batch-style communications sessions in an entirely "unattended" - fashion. - - ECU presents to the host a flexible "ANSI" terminal type, accepting any - valid video control sequences from MS-DOS or SCO documentation as of - late 1990. It also fares well, though imperfectly, with Sun and VT-100 - in-band video control sequences. Standards are great: everybody should - have one, especially if they call it "ANSI." - - The program supports almost any local terminal (console) which can be - described in a termcap database entry. For more information, refer to - "Supported Terminals." - - ECU supports numerous file transfer protocols: as of this writing, - XMODEM, XMODEM/CRC, XMODEM-1K, YMODEM/CRC Batch, ZMODEM/CRC-16, - ZMODEM/CRC-32, Kermit and SEAlink are supported. - |
