It will probably work, though there seems to be some question about just
what happens to the server when an Unix program issues a IOCTL to put
the line in RAW mode. Some people here are claiming that this does not
disable control q/s flow control at the server. This would be a pain,
since flow control/8 bit mode (passall) on the Decserver is a session,
rather than port parameter and would have to be set everytime you log into
the server.
On the other hand, these people may be confused. I haven't resolved this
yet, and it may be a non-issue or further perusal of the Decserver manual
may yield the correct setup.
The details of the LAT / terminal emulation are almost completely
undocumented, not to mention the intentional secrecy surrounding how
to initiate reverse LAT connections. DEC could do a lot better in
this respect.
