My question is similar, except it has to do with using modems to call out--and the modems are connected to a DECserver200. Right now I have to go through VMS--and this is *very* unpleasant. Any help??? (oh, yeah: I'm on Ultrix 3.1 and 4.0 on VAX and DEC stations, but it seems to me that there should be some standard Unix way of handling this.) -- Gary Beckmann beckmann@das.harvard.edu Disclaimer: This space for sale.

Another thing that can sometimes be useful when trying to talk to
specific ports on a terminal server is to use telnet. You have to
know the terminal server's hostname of IP address, then what it
thinks it's port numbers are with respect to unix service ports.
Check the manual. Then:
telnet terminal_server_hostname port_number
will connect input and output to that port. May require some
setup on the server itself.
