NAME
       dnlogin - Connect as a terminal to a DECnet system

SYNOPSIS
       dnlogin [options] nodename
       Options:
       [-Vh] [-d level] [-e char]

DESCRIPTION
       dnlogin connects to a remote DECnet system.

       This application implements the CTERM protocol over DECnet for connect‐
       ing to a remote DECnet host. It expects to be run from a VT100-compati‐
       ble terminal.
       dnlogin is a replacement for the old "sethost" program.

OPTIONS
       -e <char>
	      Set  the	exit  character. By default this is ^]. You can
	      specify the exit character as a control character by pre‐
	      ceding it with a circumflex eg (^A means control-A) or as
	      a number in decimal (default),  octal  (starting	with  a
	      zero), or hexadecimal (preceded by 0x or 0X).

       -T connect timeout
	      Specifies	 the  maximum  amount  of time the command will
	      wait to establish a connection with the remote node. a  0
	      here  will  cause	 it  to wait forever. The default is 60
	      seconds

       -h -?  Displays help for using the command.

       -V     Show the version of the package that  dnlogin  was  built
	      with.

EXAMPLES
       Connect to remote VAX host named "mv3100".

	   dnlogin mv3100

HELPFUL HINTS
       The CTERM specifications available from Digital does not include
       how to setup VMS terminal characteristics, so  the  host	 cannot
       identify	 the  capabilities  of the session we are creating. The
       simplest workaround is to set the terminal capabilities manually
       upon  login  or including the following command in the login.com
       DCL procedure.

       $ SET TERM/DEC_CRT
