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
