NAME

       sethost - Emulates a DEC VT100 terminal

SYNOPSIS

       sethost [options] nodename
       Options:
       [-Vh] [-e char]

DESCRIPTION

       sethost emulates a DEC VT100 terminal.

       This  application  implements  the  CTERM  protocol  over  DECnet  for connecting to a remote DECnet host
       emulating a DEC VT100 terminal.
       dnlogin is a replacement for sethost with more compatibility features.

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).

       -h -?  Displays help for using the command.

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

EXAMPLES

       Connect to remote VAX host named "mv3100".

           sethost 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
