This program in effect uses the PDP-8 to simulate a teletype

machine which is equipped with X-OFF, X-ON, and EOT

features to accomplish entry into an IBM 360 computer with

the Job Entry Teletype {JET) interface. Minimal requirements

included as peripheral equipment to the basic PDP-8 are an

alternate teletype with FORTRAN keyboard and a standard

Dataphone Set. The program provides for teletype entry into

the Jet System from the keyboard or paper tape reader. A

teletype page print and/or tape punch record of the trans-

mission is obtained.
