Once you are connected
BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE...
MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT USING CAPITAL LETTERS!
Login ID
The first thing you will be asked for is the login ID for the
account you wish to use. This appears on you screen in the form of the
following prompt:
login:
- to login as "guest" type:
guest
- if you want the French version of VTN type
visiteur
- and... if you already have an account on this system type in your
login ID. e.g.
az029
After you have typed in the login account id (guest, visiteur, or your
personal account id) press the [Enter] - [Return] key.
Password
Next you will be prompted for a password in the form of:
password:
- To login as a guest or as visiteur press your [Return] or [Enter]
key. No password is required for these accounts.
- To login to your personal account enter your password. BE SURE to
enter the password without capitals.
Terminal Type
It is strongly recommended that you use a proper VT-100 terminal
emulation. This is the default terminal type for Victoria Telecommunity Network and will
result in the best results (provided your communications software
uses a close match to the official VT-100 standard.
Other VT-xxx terminal emulations will also usually work. If you are using
VT-200 you should tell VTN to use VT-200 also.
Other terminal emulations may also work. You should always try to set
both your software and the VTN software to the same
emulation. If VTN does not support the terminal emulation
that you need to use you may have to experiment with the various terminal
emulations available at Victoria Telecommunity Network to find the one that works best
with your software.
If you are using VT-100, ...at the Terminal Type? (VT 100) prompt,
press [Enter] or [Return].
