Port the Linux one to VMS?

Linux speaks RTERM, not only CTERM?! :o

That would be an interesting solution. I didn't know at all that dnprogs now
support RTERM too, and I see that the author is you... :)

Yes, or more precisely, I supplied some of the variants -- RSTS and perhaps one or two others, it's been long enough that I no longer remember.

The comment about ending up in the rtpad RSTS code makes sense.   TOPS-10 terminal behavior is quite similar to RSTS, so the same protocol is apparently used by both.   The other three flavors are (a) VMS, (b) RSX, and (c) TOPS-20.   I forgot what Ultrix used, or Linux when in rtpad mode.

sethost.c, I suppose. At first sight the new dnlogin program appears not to
support RTERM. Am I right?

I don't remember.   Perhaps a built option?
