rlogin

[Woodro]

Does procomm support rlogin? I think the only way I can access my PBX over the ethernet requires me to use rlogin and I can't find any help in the help section of procomm so I assume it does not support it. Is there another program that does?
Thanks for the help

Procomm does not support rlogin, but does have telnet if the device you are connecting to supports that.

So is rlogin and telnet just two different types of terminal sessions?

Correct, telnet you have to enter your username and password, while rlogin is based on the remote machine believing that your machine is allowed to access it based on username alone (I believe, been awhile since I'm used rlogin).

knob,
Do you have an example of telnet script?

What are you looking for exactly? All you really need to know is how to connect, and then use waitfor and transmit commands to send the username and password over (you can whip this part up easily with Procomm's script recorder).

If the telnet site is an entry in your Connection Directory, then the code would look like this:

dial TELNET "entry"
while $DIALING
yield
enwhile

where entry is replaced by the name exactly as it appears in the Connection Directory.

If you want to make a manual telnet connection, replace the dial command above with this line:

connectmanual TELNET "address"

where address is either the fully-qualified domain name of the system or its IP address.
