.Open Access .Open From University Hall The Computer Center has set up Macintoshes and (soon!)PCs that can "telnet" to other computers, including the Computer Science UNIX systems. The labs are open from 8am to 10pm Monday-Thursday, Friday 8am-5pm. Saturday & Sunday 9am- 5pm. The machines are in UH-38, UH-43, UH-47, or UH-52. . From University Hall Macintoshes The Macintoshes are in UH-38 and UH-43. Select one that is not used. Find the 'On' button on the keyboard and push it. If the screen remains blank you may have to push an 'On' button at the back of the monitor as well. Use the mouse to point at the 'NCSA-BYU Telnet' Button and click it. The Mac will load a public domain terminal emulator. Under the File window select the "Open Session..." option. A dialog-box will appear. Type in the complete and correct host name of the machine you want to use (eg blaze.csci.csusb.edu or orion.csci.csusb.edu, or....). When the login prompt appears, pull down the Session menu and select "Backspace" - which programs the Delete Key as a Backspace Key. Login as usual etc. The window works like a fast vt100 terminal, so set your TERM variable to "vt100". You can be online to several machines at one time by using the "Open Session..." command (under "File" menu) and even copy and paste text between their windows (*BUG* September 30, 1993: Copy was ok, but Paste was not). It is also possible to copy and paste text to and from a telnet window and paste it into another document and application say a WordPerfect paper. You can also (some how) transfer files to and from Mac disks using FTP. When you have logged out, select the "Quit" command under the "File" menu. When out of "Telnet," select the "Shutdown" command under the "Special" Menu to close down and power off the Mac. From University Hall PCs The PCs are in UH-47 and UH-52 and on a Novell network. At this time ( September 30, 1993) I haven't tried them out... .Close From University Hall . From The Library (perhaps?) The Computer Center may/will/should have set up machines to connect to other computers on campus, including the Computer Science UNIX systems. Make sure before you start that you have found the place where the BACKSPACE key has been put. The normal key sends a DELete signal that UNIX does not treat as a delete character! It is essentially a matter of finding an available machine and tapping the Enter key if the screen is blank. If garbage appears try tapping the key marked BREAK. Ultimately you will be shown a menu by the Micom Port selector. The menu will let you get to INET, PAD, or NSN. Follow the instructions on the next page. . From Jack H Brown Hall open Labs The JB Hall objectives include networking machines in open labs that can access the same software and resources as in these labs. . Via a telephone .Picture You will need a computer (IBM, clone, Radio Shack, Mac, Amiga, Atari, ...), a modem (1200 or 2400 baud), a program called a terminal emulator, and manuals for all three - machine, modem, emulator. The emulator must be able to emulate a "vt100"(eg: Kermit for DOS, ZTerm for Macintosh System 7. I have copies). Read the manuals to find out how to hook up your system to the phone and how to set up the emulator and modem to these parameters: Speed= 1200 Baud, Parity= EVEN, Data bits= 7 Bits, Note. Some like NO parity & 8 data bits Stop bit= 1 Bit, Flow control= CTRL/Q& S =ENABLED Terminal Emulated VT100 Make a note of how to send the following special signals:- ASCII Name Common keys CR Enter, Return, CTRL/M End Of Text CTRL/D BS Backspace, CTRL/H Interrupt CTRL/C ESCape Esc or CTRL/[ BREAK Interrupt modem signal To make contact tell the emulator/modem to dial :(909)-880-5068 You may have to try this once or twice before you get CONNECTed...then tap the Enter/RETURN key. . Transferring Files to and from a Home PC The IBM AIX servers in JB36?can read and write DOS disks. Commands: dosread, doswrite, dosdir. The UH Macintoshes can handle Macintosh disks. We don't have any sophisticated protocols programmed. To send a file use "PAD" to contact the UNIX machine. Tell UNIX to save it in a new file (cat >new_file_name) and then tell your PC to send or upload the file as ASCII. To get your own copy, at home - first tell your machine to capture/record/download ASCII and then tell UNIX to send the file as ASCII (cat file). My shared 'hunt' script can help downloading files a little. . Accessing a Different Machine From UNIX Machine If you are using X Windows then you should first input the command "xterm &" to a console or command window to get a compatible terminal for the other machine. The new window can then be connected to other machines by one of the following commands. An 'xterm' window runs a higly compatible terminal: TERM=xterm. Use the rlogin command to login to a different machine: "rlogin host_name -l your_user_name". If you don't know a nodes name, but do know its number, or if the name server is having problems, then use the telnet command: "telnet nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn". To transfer files to another user use 'mailx'. To transfer files to and from your homes on different machines use the ftp command: "ftp host_name". This prompts you for commands that include: "quit", "help", "ls", "cd", "lcd", "get", "put", and "mget". This is also useful for getting some of the free software and data from the Internet. .Open.ComputerText Modem Session I've put ===== UNDER the bits you type CSUSB Micom Data Switch Valid Selection for Login ----------------------------------- APC Advanced Processing Center (PS 110) 1200 baud GATE Advanced Processing Center (PS 110) 2400 baud INET Internet Connection LCAT Library Online Catalog NATS Natural Science Network 1200 baud NSN Natural Science Network 2400 baud PAD X.25 PAD The modem pool will be upgraded in late fall - parts are on order.
