{not quite a LAN but close }
On a DECserver 200 V3.0, I want to:
SET SESSION PASTHRU
before my CONNECT machinename command.
But it does not like this -- it wants a session first!
Short of establishing the session, breaking out of it, then setting
pasthru, then returning {ugh!}, how can I do this? Can I chain commands
somehow, maybe?
I'd RTFM, but we don't have TFM -- it's another dept's server.
Who knows where THEY have it.....

Unless the host (that isn't close)......................pob 570-335
is busy, hung or dead....................................33257-0335Mark.Berryman@Mvb.Saic.Com (MUMPS Wizard) (12/27/90)

I'll make a perhaps unwarranted assumption here and assume that, with a name like mthvax.cs.miami.edu, your host is a VAX. If your VAX is running VMS then the command $SET TERM/PASTHRU will also set the server's session to pasthru. If you are running Ultrix, it will perform the same way but I don't know the actual command. Come to think of it, all of the DEC operating systems I have used that include LAT support (including PDP-11 based ones) will set the session to pasthru by using the host's command to set a terminal to pasthru. If you aren't connecting to a DEC provided O.S. then I guess I haven't helped much. Mark Berryman Mark.Berryman@Mvb.Saic.Com
