Dialing In from Home

To connect via modem, you need to make sure you have the following settings made:

baud rate:

9600, 2400, 1200 or 300 (as fast as your modem can go)

parity:

none

data bits:

8

stop bits:

1

Also, make a note of the type of terminal emulation your program is set for so when asked what term type you are using, you will know what to enter.

The phone number that you can call to connect to the PSU Cisco Terminal Server, hostname malach, is 725-3144. These numbers automatically switch between the other full time modems available.

Once connected, you may need to press "return" a few times to get the `malach>' prompt. Once you see this prompt you can type machinename to connect to your machine. For example, the following would connect you to the machine sirius:

`malach> sirius.cs.pdx.edu'

If you have some problems while dialing in, try the following steps:

• Make sure your parity is set correctly. If it is not, your terminal will freeze up.

• If your screen does freeze, try typing ctrl-q.

• You can usually backspace by typing ctrl-h.

• Use the fully qualified domain name. This means to use sirius.cs.pdx.edu instead of sirius.

• Try connecting to a different host computer, such as jove.

If you have problems with dialing in you should mail a trouble report to:

`psu.dialups'

or call 725-4023 and report the problem to the Computer Science Department tutors. The next section, Reporting Problems, will explain what information to give when reporting the trouble.
