Well, on the console I have tty01, tty02, tty03 through tty12. Each screen is able to have parameters for printing assigned by the port name. I could set up screen tty01 to print to a printer on /dev/lp0 and on screen tty02 I could set it up to print on a printer on /dev/lp1 or /dev/tty1a or whatever printer I need to. 2 files are saved in the home directory. tty01.cnf and tty01.xd.

Now if I have 2 computers ran through IP I will have ttyp0 through as many screens as I login in on. If I have one computer on the 2nd floor and one computer on the third floor I would need to assign each computer to print on the printers on the second floor and third floor with each computer. The problem is that I could log in on the computer on the second floor and get /dev/ttyp0 one time and /dev/ttyp1 the next. If I set the parameters for the session to print on the second floor it would run fine until the computer on the third floor logs in on /dev/ttyp0 or /dev/ttyp1.

If I could set the computer that is on the second floor to always log in on /dev/ttyp0 and the computer on the third floor to log in on /dev/ttyp1 it would work fine. I would like to be able to use multiple telnet sessions as well. If I could set the second floor computer to /dev/ttyp0 through /dev/ttyp12 and the computer on the third floor to /dev/ttyp13 to /dev/ttyp24 that would be nice.

I have read something about a login support program. Is this what I need or is it just a script I write? Boundless makes the Net Terminals I can use. They have software I can install to make the screens come up as /dev/nt101, /dev/nt102 through /dev/nt112. Net Terminal #1 screen 1 - 12. When the login comes up I get something similar to this:

SCO OpenServer(TM) Release 5 (scosysv) (ttyp0)

Net Terminal login on /dev/nt101:

I have these entries in my/etc/hosts and /etc/netterms files:

/etc/hosts file
192.168.0.1 scosysv scosysv
192.168.0.2 netterm1

/etc/netterms file
#
# Symbolic names of NetTerminals from /etc/hosts.
#
netterm1

I only have one login and each user uses it. I have no multple user accounts. If I could set it up so each IP address has it's own login that would be great. Maybe even If I could use the computer name on the computer. I have been useing Anzio Lite for my telnet session. Could there be another program that may do what I am looking for?

dialups

dialups(4)							   File Formats 							dialups(4)

NAME

       dialups - list of terminal devices requiring a dial-up password

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/dialups

DESCRIPTION

       dialups	is  an	ASCII file which contains a list of terminal devices  that require a dial-up password. A dial-up password is an additional
       password required of users who access the computer through a modem or dial-up port.  The correct password must be entered before  the  user
       is granted access to the computer. The set of ports that require a dial-up password are	listed in the dialups file.

       Each entry in the dialups file is a single line of the form:

	      terminal-device

       where

       terminal-device	       The  full  path	name  of the terminal device that will require a dial-up password for users accessing the computer
			       through a modem or dial-up port.

       The dialups file should be owned by the root user and the root group.  The file should have read and write permissions for the owner (root)
       only.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: A sample dialups file.

       Here is a sample dialups file:

       /dev/term/a
       /dev/term/b
       /dev/term/c

FILES

       /etc/d_passwd	       dial-up password file

       /etc/dialups	       list of dial-up ports requiring dial-up passwords
