New facilities:

vs 0301:
        Further possibilities for setting 'line open parameters':

        If MODE bit 7 is set the 7 LSB bits of VDUTTY_MODE is taken
        from the MSB part of PROTOCOL and bit 7 of VDUTTY_MODE is
        taken from bit 2 of PROTOCOL. Other parameters is set as in
        Vs 0301.

        Asyncronous line status reports from the LTU delivered to
        the event reporting system.

        In connection with CSS-MIC/325 (LTU_BOOT.C) the 'line open'
        parameters are used as follows:

        ADCN protocol        : set  MODE bit 4 and PROTOCOL bit 0
        CR <=> LF on output  : set  MODE bit 4 and PROTOCOL bit 1
        Upper case output    : set  MODE bit 4 and PROTOCOL bit 2
        Suppress input LF    : set  MODE bit 4 and PROTOCOL bit 3
        Flowcontrol on DCD   : set  MODE bit 4 and PROTOCOL bit 4
        Flowcontrol on DSR   : set  MODE bit 4 and PROTOCOL bit 5
        Flowcontrol on CALL  : set  MODE bit 4 and PROTOCOL bit 6
        DTR follows CALL     : set  MODE bit 4 and PROTOCOL bit 7
        ASYNC report on DCD  : set  MODE bit 7 and PROTOCOL bit 12
        ASYNC report on DSR  : set  MODE bit 7 and PROTOCOL bit 13
        ASYNC report on CALL : set  MODE bit 7 and PROTOCOL bit 14
        TTY mode             : set  MODE bit 2

 vs. 0208:
        Statistics supported.

        Extended possibilities for controlling the firmware via the
        the 'open line parameters':

            The firmware receives the following parameters:
                      FREQUENCY
                      ECHO_MODE
                      LLEN_MODE
                      XONOFF_MODE
                      VDUTTY_MODE
                      TLLEN_MODE

            These are set according to the MODE and other parameters
            received from TOS (assignltu) in the following way:

                       FREQUENCY as received from TOS.

                       ECHO_MODE
                                 MODE bit 1 = 0:  #00 (echo)
                                 MODE bit 1 = 1:  #FF (non echo)

                       VDUTTY_MODE
                                 MODE bit 2 = 0:  #00 (vdu mode)
                                 MODE bit 2 = 1:  #FF (tty mode)

                       LLEN_MODE
                                 MODE bit 3 = 0:  #90
                                 MODE bit 3 = 1:  MSB (MODE)

                       XONOFF_MODE
                                 MODE bit 4 = 0:  #00
                                 MODE bit 4 = 1:  LSB (PROTOCOL)

                       TLLEN_MODE
                                 MODE bit 5 = 0:  #50
                                 MODE bit 5 = 1:  MSB (PROTOCOL)

        If MODE bit 6 = 1 the 'From:' text from the LTU driver is suppressed

 vs. 0207:
        Damos interface to LTU now supported.

        The XAMOS version can be run unchanged on MX_AMOS systems.

        Raw mode used by the full screen editor is supported. (LTU/VDU FW
        CSS-MIC/325 Ver. 0202 supports raw mode)

Changes:

  vs. 0209:
        Error in XAMOS version corrected.

  vs. 0208:

        Responce in connection with 'break' speeded up.

  vs. 0207:


        Lines are numbered 2 - 5 when using the old (amos) firmware,
        and 0 - 3 when using the damos interface firmware.
        First word in the LTU boot file must indicate whether it uses
        the amos or damos interface.

        Dual bus supported.

        The 'line mode' in the TOS 'ASSIGNLTU' command is used as follows:

             'From' text is suppressed                  if mode = 0
             Raw mode (full screen editor) is supported if bit 0 is set
             non echo mode is selected                  if bit 1 is set
             tty mode is selected                       if bit 2 is set
             the 'From' text is output when the first
             connection is created                      if mode <> 0

             Clean up in connection with 'break' has been improved.

Errors corrected:

  vs. 0209:
       Error in XAMOS version corrected.

 vs. 0208:

        Some PR's resolved:

              PR 1017: Loss of input requests
              PR 1101: Driver terminates when LTU not present when
                       assigned (TOS hangs).

Reported errors, not corrected:
