The Computer Science lab has more than 20 X-terminals. You can log on to your UNIX account using any of these. There is also an IBM PC for uploading and downloading files to diskettes.
To use the X-terminal you must have an account on the machine that hosts the X-terminal. Ther host name is givin in the XDM window.
Enter your login name and password in the XDM login window.
Now, the window manager specified in your .xsession file in your home directory will be started. (Or if you don't have a .xsession file, the default one will be used.) You will see the `machine-name%' prompt, and may begin your session.
For more information on starting a different window manager, or customizing your .xsession file, see Section See section X Environment.
Turn the machine on and wait for it to boot. At the C> prompt, type
telnet fully-qualified-machine-name
The default terminal type is vt100. The IBM is used mainly to upload and download files between your UNIX account and floppy discs. It can use both 3 1/2 and 5 1/4 floppies.
