2-6-93          Kris Stewart    Mac -> sdcc14 communcations

I wanted to make a final check of accessing sdcc14 from my Mac Plus
using a modem.

Software:   Zterm 0.9 on the disk I received from Brian Lindow LLNL

I may have reset some of the default settings, so I went through ALL
the menu items and recorded what my current settings were.  These may
not be the optimal values, but these were the settings when I was
able to successfully use the "vi" editor on Unix (implying that the
Escape Key and Control Key were properly identified; my terminal
emulation was VT100) and I was able to use sz (send Zmodem protocal)
for an ascii file.

I selected Dial and used the Dial Directory to be set up so that
my No-county entry was highlighted (hold down Option key and click
on the name).  Now I can just Dial/Dial Marked and it gets the
modem going.

Here are the phone numbers for other areas of the county and the
modem type.  I extracted this from mail from Dr. Don Anderson, who
set these accounts up for us.  Thank you Don.

  Here is the info on UCSD dialup lines:
Phone #           speed        modem type     service

480-0651          1200,2400    MNP-5          Terminal subnet

Either the "Terminal subnet" or the "Internet" services can reach
sdcc14. On the terminal subnet, the prompt is ">>", and the
syntax to connect is

>>connect sdcc14

If you want to up/download 8-bit data, before connecting you
should tell the terminal service

>>set binary on

Help is obtained by

>>?

The internet connections feel like a host. You give commands such
as "rlogin sdcc14" or "telnet sdcc14" (which differ in
inconsequential details). "help" gives help. "?" probably does
too. There are some limitations about connecting to off-campus
hosts directly from the internet servers, mainly to keep local
teenagers from logging into the more notorious hacker havens at
MIT.

I logged on to sdcc14 by doing the following once the modem had
made contact:

CONNECT 2400

hide a couple of carriage returns

You may now enter NetOne commands
>> c sdcc14                        (I type c sdcc14 which is
                                    automatically echoed as
                                    connect sdcc14)

  Connecting ...

sdcc14.ucsd.edu  login: stewart    (I type stewart)
Password:                          (not going to tell you mine)

You get a log on message and stuff

TERM = (vt100)                     (hit carriage return (<cr>)
                                    to accept this default)

Then you get a bunch of administrative announcements and stuff.
You're told to type "q" to quit - I'd recommend doing this

q

You are now logged on.

I'd recommend getting more information by typing:

help

and pursue the different selections as they interest you.

I was able to

vi temp

i       (gets you into insert mode - so you need to have the Escape
         key set up to get out)
da da  - whatever     (this is what I want in the file "temp"

Esc     out of insert mode    ("clover [" on my Mac Plus - see settings
                               below for Zterm)

:wq     leave vi editor and save the file "temp"

I recommend using "elm" for handling your mail

elm

Elm will prompt you about creating some directories for you - say
yes.


To leave, type

logout

and tell you modem program to hang up the phone - by closing the
window.

I don't know that any of these are the optimal value, but these are
what was set and this was functional for me.

=====================================================================

Warning about parity.  I find this doesn't always happen the same way,
so I'm kind of confused about why it is sometimes a problem and why
other times it isn't.  But let me describe the symptoms and the easy
way to fix it in case it happens to you.

I dial in to the UCSD network:

436-7148 Settings initially 2400 baud N81 (no parity 8 data 1 stop)

I get to this point

You may now enter Net/One commands.
>>connect sdcc14
  Connecting ... (1) 21675c6 


gobblety-gook that looks like hierglyphics<----------- parity is wrong

I couldn't even reproduce it here.  But it looks unreadable and REALLY WEIRD!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I had to change the communication package parameters under
Settings/Connection to be E71 (Even parity; 7 data bits; 1 stop
bit) You do this my selecting the Settings menu field with your
mouse and then the Connection item and then changing the values
for parity; data bits and stop bit.  But the junk characters above
are easily recognizable as parity error - so this is an easy fix.
