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
