Interactive Connections Using the MSS

5.1.4 Code Examples

The MSS distribution CD-ROM includes examples of code for TCP/IP and SPX/IPX applications. Refer to the Readme Þle included with the code examples for further information and instructions.

5.2 Interactive Connections

Interactive mode refers to entering commands at the Local prompt. Commands can be used to conÞgure the MSS, connect to remote services, manipulate a connection, or receive feedback.

5.2.1 Session Control

When a user makes a connection to a service on the network (via Telnet, Rlogin, SPX, or LAT), a session is created. A user can have several connections to various services at once, although only one is displayed on the screen at a time. Each separate connection is a session.

5.2.1.1 Break Key

The Break key allows users to leave an active session and return to the MSSÕs Local prompt without disconnecting sessions. By default, the MSS handles the Break key locally. Users can change whether the Break key is processed by the MSS (Local), processed by the remote host (Remote), or ignored (None) using the Change Break command.
