Introduction
Terminal Server is used extensively for connecting terminals, printers and modems on multi-
user Unix systems, especially in retail applications. These Unix systems include SCO Unix,
IBM AIX, HP-UX, Data General's DG/UX, etc. This chapter deals with terminals and/or PCs
using emulation packages (such as Hyperterm).
In many applications, the users need to be 'direct connected' to a specific Unix host so that
they see the login prompt automatically. This is helpful in securing your system, or in
environments where the users need to be in one application only.
This chapter will show how to setup a terminal, and other tips such as the concept of 'fixed
ttys', multi screens, the copy command, TERM features, etc. Consult
for information on wiring your terminal.
Remember to use the TAB key to bounce between fields, and if you get the Commands exit
menu by mistake, use Cancel to return to editing this menu.
