It doesn't. No one wanted this capability enough to pay for it, and
TCP/IP over the ethernet port is much faster. (The DH11 was a DEC
serial mux device) (02)

I'm not sure, and don't think, that they use this. (04)
It should work to simply hook up AUGTERM via serial port to some other
machine/system that supports both (a) serial port login, and (b) telnet.
Log into that machine, then telnet from there to the TOPS-20 system
you are running, declare your terminal type to be lineprocessor or
whatever, and run Augment. (05)

(p.s. FWIW this reminds me I still have a working DM2500, but it would
need a working lineprocessor in order to function as a NLS/Augment
terminal.) (07)
