Long Message Transmitter Package

The long message transmitter package (LMT) queues output messages on file and transmits them to hardcopy terminals such as the 1977 printer/keyboard terminals, 1980-21 and 24 printers, BSC and 3284/3286 SNA printer terminals using the pseudo-LNIATA interface, and transmits them to the 1052/3215 console. LMT is also used for any of these terminals that are supported by NEF.

The following types of messages are handled via LMT:

LMT requires that certain fixed file records be allocated and initialized, one for each terminal controlled by it (see Communication Pilot Record Generation).
