NAME

       dnlogin - Connect as a terminal to a DECnet system

SYNOPSIS

       dnlogin [options] nodename
       Options:
       [-Vh] [-d level] [-e char]

DESCRIPTION

       dnlogin connects to a remote DECnet system.

       This  application  implements  the  CTERM  protocol over DECnet for connecting to a remote
       DECnet host. It expects to be run from a VT100-compatible terminal.
       dnlogin is a replacement for the old "sethost" program.

OPTIONS

       -e <char>
              Set the exit character. By default this is ^]. You can specify the  exit  character
              as a control character by preceding it with a circumflex eg (^A means control-A) or
              as a number in decimal (default), octal (starting  with  a  zero),  or  hexadecimal
              (preceded by 0x or 0X).

       -T connect timeout
              Specifies  the  maximum  amount  of  time  the  command  will  wait  to establish a
              connection with the remote node. a 0 here  will  cause  it  to  wait  forever.  The
              default is 60 seconds

       -h -?  Displays help for using the command.

       -V     Show the version of the package that dnlogin was built with.

EXAMPLES

       Connect to remote VAX host named "mv3100".

           dnlogin mv3100

HELPFUL HINTS

       The CTERM specifications available from Digital does not include how to setup VMS terminal
       characteristics, so the host cannot identify  the  capabilities  of  the  session  we  are
       creating.  The simplest workaround is to set the terminal capabilities manually upon login
       or including the following command in the login.com DCL procedure.

       $ SET TERM/DEC_CRT
