People here have asked me to see if it is possible to create a menu of host machines that would appear as an initial display after someone connects to the cisco terminal server. Looking through the manual leads me to believe that it can't be done. True?? Failing a menu -- how about displaying a list of host names, with a few lines of instructions?? Would that be possible? Thanks for any info. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Barb Deschapelles, University of Dayton, | | Office for Computing Activities | | Bitnet: DESCHAPE@DAYTON Internet: deschape@udavxb.oca.udayton.edu | | VOICE: 513 - 229-4040 FAX: 513 - 229-4000 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Well, it can be done, sort of. What you do is put the menu in either
the vacant-message (for permanantly connected lines) or the banner
(for all lines) (it doesn't quite work if you do both). Then you
define hostnames that match your menu selection. On hardwired lines,
set 'no activation character', which lets the first character typed
by a user be part of the host name. An example:
ip host A 131.108.1.1
ip host B 131.108.1.2
ip host C 131.108.1.3
!
line 1 20
