Connecting to a LAN Manager for UNIX Systems Server
Using the Kermit Terminal Emulator
Using the Kermit Terminal Emulator
You can use terminal emulators on your client to log on to UNIX system
computers on your network or outside of your network. Without leaving
your client, you can log on to a host computer and perform all operational
tasks as if you were sitting at that computer.
Remember that logging on to a host computer is not the same as logging on
to a server. When you are logged on to a host computer, your client functions
like a computer terminal. Logging on to a host computer does not enable you
to share directories or link to shared resources on the network.
The following is a list of some of the terminal emulators you can use on the
network:
• Kermit
• Crosstalk® XVI, Network Version
• RELAY Gold Network Version 4.0
• Yale Terminal Emulator Program (YTERM) Version 4.0
• Reflection 4: Version 3.3
• TEworks /LAN
This section describes the procedures for using Kermit to log on to and off of
a UNIX system host computer, and to transfer files between the host and
your client. To transfer files, a host version of Kermit must be running on the
host computer.

commands.
2 Link to the DOSUTIL shared directory on a LAN Manager for UNIX System
server with the net use command.
