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
