DTC PAD Profiles 

The following tables ( Table 4-6  and Table 4-7 ) show the usable
DTC PAD profiles and their recommended usage.  You must not use profiles
18, 45 and 50, even though they are available.  All other numbers are
blocked, and cannot be entered.

|          |                     | applications which need to send each character to  |
|          |                     | the host (for example, HPEDIT). The profile loads  |
|          |                     | the X.25 line with many, small packets each time   |
|          |                     | the application needs a termination character      |
|          |                     | other than CR. The PAD must support 3:127.         |

|          |                     | echo, break or flow control.  The user must ensure |
|          |                     | that the editing characters are <BS> (ASCII 8) for |
|          |                     | backspace, and Control-X (ASCII24) for the line    |

|          |                     | for more performance at the connection             |
|          |                     | initialization, or if the PAD doesn't support the  |
|          |                     | setting of multiple Set and Read, or isn't able to |
|          |                     | answer during the "PAD Test" sequence in           |
|          |                     | accordance with X.29 recommendations.  For         |
|          |                     | example, for a PAD which answers with an X.29 PAD  |

|          |                     | the "error bit".  The PAD must support the X.3     |
|          |                     | setting needed by the applications.                |
