When the caller connects, you may want to send out a welcome message of some sort. After
the user gets this message, you want him/her to enter a login and password then connect to
the Host for a shell account.
Or, if it is a PPP user, they will simply start sending PPP packets at the login prompt (for
example, Windows ® 95/98) and use PAP for authentication. Optionally, the dial-in user can
place a P, S or C (all caps) in front of the user name at the Login prompt (this starts the
corresponding protocol after successful authentication).

Host authentication succeeded.
My IP Address is : 204.17.209.7
Your IP Address is : 204.17.209.210
The Subnet Mask is : 255.255.255.0
With this example, the Terminal Server is now in CSLIP mode, so put your PC into CSLIP
mode as well. Your dialer script will have to parse out the My/Your addresses from the above
message.
'Your IP Address' will be the address of the PC that is calling in, and 'My IP Address' can be
the PC's default gateway. The above procedure works for SLIP and PPP as well. However,
PPP will not display the 'My IP...' message because the IP addresses are negotiated
automatically in the IPCP layer.
With the Connection field on the Port Setup Menu set to Dedicated, if you do not specify a P,
S or C in front of the user name, you will be authenticated and then connected to the host.
This will leave you at a shell prompt on the Authentication host. A caller will never see
Terminal Server. If Connection is set to None, you will be left at the CLI prompt (for example,
IOLAN> ).
