NAME
       sethost - Emulates a DEC VT100 terminal

SYNOPSIS
       sethost [options] nodename
       Options:
       [-Vh] [-e char]

DESCRIPTION
       sethost emulates a DEC VT100 terminal.

       This application implements the CTERM protocol over DECnet for connect‐
       ing to a remote DECnet host emulating a DEC VT100 terminal.
       dnlogin is a replacement for sethost with more compatibility features.

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).

       -h -?  Displays help for using the command.

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

EXAMPLES
       Connect to remote VAX host named "mv3100".

	   sethost 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
