1443.1Reading From Terminal, Writing To File...XDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringMon Feb 03 1997 16:1822
   If the data is being routed to an LA120, it is likely serial ASCII.
   As such, it can be fed into a typical host serial port, or into a
   DECserver serial port.

   As for examples of programming the terminal device driver, see the
   I/O User's Manual -- there's a large example of programming there.
   Also see the OpenVMS Programming Concepts manual.  Also look in the
   SYS$EXAMPLES: area.

   Realize that there's nothing particularly special here -- one could
   easily (slightly) modify any existing program that reads user input
   in from the local terminal and writes it to a file to solve this
   problem.

   I'd open the device and the file, and I'd fall into a loop that issues
   a sys$qiow call, and -- when the call completes -- writes the data to a
   log file.

   Be aware that various vendors including Digital also market products
   that communicate with various PBX switches -- this is often refered
   to as "Computer Integrated Telephony" or CIT.
