The correct order is:
@B O S (Binary Output Start -- binary to user from TAC)
@B I S (Binary Input Start -- binary to TAC from user)
Binary Input Start disables any TAC commands from the user until
the connection is closed.
On certain advanced operating systems (e.g. TOPS-20 systems with the
PANDA MODIFICATIONS), there are user commands which accomplish the same
effect and hence you don't lose anything by using them. On the PANDA TOPS-20's
(SIMTEL20, STL-HOST1, and DREA-XX), the command is
TERMINAL [NO] NETWORK-BINARY [INPUT | OUTPUT | BOTH]
The word "NO" after "TERMINAL" disables binary mode (else it is enabled),
and the default binary mode is both. There is also a system call to do the
same thing.
Perhaps some bright Unix hacker can figure out how to put this in Unix.
