CONNECTING TO THE UNIX SYSTEM

 

Using Telnet:

The easiest way to connect to the UNIX system is by using telnet.

Windows comes with a telnet program. To run it:

  1. Go to Start->Run
  2. Type telnet
  3. Go to Connect->Remote System
  4. Type in a host name (such as eagle.cs.unc.edu)
  5. Click Connect
  6. Log in with your name and password

This telnet application is not very sophisticated, and there are many others available as freeware or shareware off the Internet. My personal preference is QVTNet.
