Manually Connecting to a Remote Site

You can dial a remote (or local) site from the Command Line software with the dial command and log in to a local host with the nslogin, rlogin, and telnet commands.

The Dial Command

Use the following command:

dial <location>

<location> must be a valid Location Table entry. You can also add a debugging option, -x, after the <location> field. This option displays the negotiation/connection messages.

Nslogin, Rlogin and Telnet Commands

nslogin makes a PortMux connection with a host, rlogin an Rlogin connection, and telnet a Telnet connection. PortMux multiplexes many Telnet sessions, requiring fewer connections. They all use the following syntax:

nslogin <host>

(or rlogin <host> or telnet <host>)

<host> must contain the IP address or name of the host you are connecting to.

For example, to Telnet to a host with an IP address of 167.199.76.23, use the following command:

telnet 167.199.76.23
