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
