NAME

       rmtermd	- Old style DECnet terminal services for Linux

SYNOPSIS

       rmtermd
       [options]
       Options:
       [-dvVh] [-l logtype]

DESCRIPTION

       Allows remote PDP-11 users to connect as a terminal over DECnet.

       This  application  implements the DTERM protocol over DECnet for allowing a remote DECnet host emulating a DEC VT100 terminal to connect to
       Linux.  DTERM is the old OS-dependent network terminal protocol that predates CTERM; it is needed to support access  from  PDP-11  systems,
       which  do  not  support	CTERM.	 Note that this daemon implements the TOPS-20 variant of that protocol; the client at the other end has to
       speak that version.  For example, under DECnet/E (for RSTS/E) you have to use the "unsupported" multi-protocol version of "set host".

       Normally this daemon will be run from dnetd(8) rather than by hand.

OPTIONS

       -l     Set logging options. The following are available:
	      -lm Log to /dev/mono. (only useful if you have my mono monitor driver or mdacon and a second monitor)
	      -le Log to stderr. Use this for debugging or testing combined with -d.
	      -ls Log to syslog(3). This is the default if no options are given.

       -d     Don't fork and run the background. Use this for debugging.

       -v     Verbose. The more of these there are the more verbose rmtermd will be.

       -h -?  Displays help for using the command.

       -V     Show the version of rmtermd.

EXAMPLES

       Starting the rmtermd daemon/Connecting to linux from a PDP-11.

       On Linux:

	  # rmtermd

       On the PDP-11:

	  $ set host pclnx

	  Rmtermd Version 1.0.0
	  DECnet for Linux

NAME

       setether - Set the ethernet address for use with DECnet

SYNOPSIS

       setether <if> [<if>...]|all [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Set ethernet MAC address on ethernet adaptors

       This  script should be run at system startup. It will change the ethernet hardware (MAC) address of any or all ethernet interfaces to match
       the DECnet node address. DECnet requires that the MAC address of all ethernet adaptors running the protocol be set approriately.  If you do
       not run setether then you must change the ethernet address in some other way for DECnet to work.
       By  default no ethernet interfaces will have their MAC addresses changed by setether, if you specify all then all interfaces name eth* will
       be changed, otherwise a list of interface names can be specified.  setether will enable (UP) all interfaces it changes  the  MAC  addresses
       of.
       (2.4  only) The first interface specified on the command-line will also be made the default interface for DECnet operations (ie attempts to
       contact nodes not in the neighbour table will be done over this interface).
       This script must be run with the interface inactive, it is normally run from /etc/init.d/decnet before TCP/IP starts up.

EXAMPLES

       set the MAC address of eth0.

	   # /sbin/setether eth0

       set the MAC address of all ethernet interfaces

	   # /sbin/setether all

HELPFUL HINTS

       If you have multiple ethernet cards on your system and they are connected to the the same network you should specify which one you want	to
       use  for DECnet communication on the setether command line, otherwise they will both be given the same MAC address and this is probably not
       what you want.
       Running DECnet on multiple ethernet interfaces only works under Linux 2.4. If you are running Linux 2.2 then  the  interface  name  on  the
       setether command line must match the one in /etc/decnet.conf(5).
