NAME
     llogin - Connect to a LAT service

SYNOPSIS
     llogin [options] service
     Options:
     [-dvcpblhQ] [-H node] [-R port] [-n name] [-w password | -W] [-q quit char]

DESCRIPTION
     llogin  connects  your terminal to a LAT service via latd, the service name
     must be known to latd for this to work.

OPTIONS
     -d     Shows learned services. This is the same as latcp -d -l

     -d -v  Verbose form of -d. -v without -d is ignored.

     -H <node>
	    Remote nodename. If the service is advertised by more than one  node
	    and  you  want to connect to a particular node then use this switch.
	    By default you will be connected to the node with the  highest  rat-
	    ing.

     -R <port>
	    Connect  to  a specific port on (usually) a terminal server. This is
	    the port NAME on the server and not the port number.

     -c     Do not convert typed LF to CR. By default the enter key generates LF
	    and llogin converts it CR as  it  is  the  most  generically  useful
	    translation.   This  switch  will cause the enter key to send LF in-
	    stead. Occasionally useful for connecting to Unix consoles.

     -b     Convert typed DEL to BS. By default the DEL key (keyboard, top right
	    usually) send DEL (ASCII 0x7f) to the  remote  system.  This  switch
	    will cause the DEL key to send BS (ASCII 8) instead. Useful for some
	    Unix systems connected via terminal servers.

     -l     Convert  output LF to VT. By default LF output is sent as CRLF which
	    can cause output formatting problems. Changing  this  to  VT  should
	    preserve  the  output  formatting on most devices or terminal emula-
	    tors.

     -q <char>
	    Change the quit character. By default CTRL-] will quit the	terminal
	    session.  Entering a character after -q will cause CTRL-<char> to be
	    the quit character for that session. -q0 will disable the quit char-
	    acter. If you use the latter, make sure you are connecting to a ser-
	    vice that will disconnect you when you log out or you will	have  to
	    kill llogin from another session to get out of it!

     -Q     Tells  latd that the service you are connecting to is queued service
	    and not a normal login service or port service.  Unfortunately  latd
	    cannot  tell  whether  a remote service needs to be queued or not so
	    the onus is on the user to specify this switch when connecting to  a
	    queued service.

     -n <name>
	    Sets  the  local connection name. By default this will be your local
	    TTY name.  In most cases this simply affects the display of the ter-
	    minal on the remote end so you shouldn't need to change it.

     -w <password>
	    Sends the password for the service. Only needed  for  services  that
	    require a password for access. If the password given is "-" then you
	    will  be  prompted	for  a	password and it will not be echoed. This
	    avoids having passwords visible on the screen.

     -W     Prompts for the service password. This  is	the  same  as  -w-  (see
	    above).

     -p     Tells  llogin  to  connect to the device named instead of a LAT ser-
	    vice. This would usually be a /dev/lat pseudo-terminal but could  be
	    any other device you like really. This switch does not make the pro-
	    gram useful as a terminal program because there is no way to set any
	    serial parameters, nor am I going to add them. This is just a conve-
	    nient way to use the /dev/lat ports without the overhead of programs
	    such as minicom.

     -h     Displays  a  brief	usage  description. This is the same as invoking
	    llogin without any parameters at all.
