Establishing a Connection
For example, if the Telserv process you wish to connect to is running in port 6000
in a host named homesys, you would enter the following command:
TACL 4> telnet homesys 6000
WELCOME TO homesys.Tandem.COM [WINDOW $ZTNT.#xxxnnnn]
T9553D30 TELNET SERVER 01OCT94
Available Services:
TACL EXIT
Enter Choice>
If you request a connection to a port that does not have a running Telserv process,
you will not get a TELNET connection.
Establishing a Connection
When you request a connection to Telserv, the following steps show an example of the
tasks Telserv performs to establish a connection with the client:
1. Creates a dynamic window for the client; for example, $ZTNT.#PTY05.
2. Negotiates TELNET options with the client.
3. Sends to the client a Welcome Banner that indicates the system name on which
the server is running and the terminal name.
4. Displays on your terminal the Service Menu which lists the available services.
(These services are made available by the system manager of the server system.)
After you select a service, the program that provides the service begins executing.
5. If you choose a TACL, starts a TACL process for you, if the system manager of the
server system has not configured any services.
Assume that you have connected to a system named mktg. The following information
appears on your screen, and you can start a TACL process to access the system:
WELCOME TO [port $ztc0 #23 window..$ztn0#pty0000]
Telserv - T9553d30 - (31OCT94)
Available Services:
TACL EXIT
Enter Choice> tacl

Once a connection is established, you can use the TELNET client commands.
