; Tie two terminals together (electronic cable)
title The CABLE program

The _Cable_ program is used to hook two terminals together.

To do this, simply type:

       ._CABLE TERM1,TERM2_

Cable will then hook those two terminals together as if they were wired
together.  This will work even if the BAUD on the terminals are different.

One use of this would be to hook a terminal up to a modem.  Simply specify
the name of the terminal you wish hooked up, and the name of the modem
(the order is not important), and they will be hooked up.  This is very
useful if the terminal just happens to be a computer of some kind.  As far
as the computer knows, it is now hooked directly to the modem (using the
Alpha as the world's most expensive modem cable).

To exit, press ^C, and the two terminals will be unhooked and put back the
way they were before you started.
