Some Welcome Changes Come to the Local Dial-up Lines

We have installed some new terminal server equipment that will greatly increase the reliability and functionality of the 3989 local dialup line. All communication settings are the same for the 565-3989 line (8-N-1), no matter which system you connect to. The 565-3300 line still requires you to set your communication program to 7-S-1 when connecting to CMS (VM3270).

Now, when you call 565-3989 you will be greeted with a menu instead of the old # prompt. From the menu, select the desired host system. If the host system isn't in the menu, simply type: telnet host.system.name.here to connect to the system of your choice (substituting the correct node information for that system, of course).

The inside front page of this issue of Benchmarks has the phone numbers and terminal settings to use for all the fully supported UNT Dial-up lines.
