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,
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
