sethost - Emulates a DEC VT100 terminal
Contents
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.
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.
$SETTERM/DEC_CRTName
