As many of you already know, there is a gateway between the Dataswitch
and the campus TCP/IP Ethernets, collectively called UCInet.  It
provides a few services:

1.   It allows Dataswitch-connected (and dial-in) terminals and PCs to
     interact with UCInet-connected computers and workstations by
     entering the command "Connect" followed by the Internet name for
     the computer or workstation after requesting UCINET at the
     Dataswitch's "Request:" prompt.  For example:

          UCInet> CONNECT MYSUN.ENG.UCI.EDU

     This is particularly useful if you have a workstation in your
     office and a terminal at home.

2.   It allows Dataswitch-connected terminals and PCs to interact with
     off-campus hosts that are in the Internet (the combined network
     formed by NSFnet, Arpanet, MILnet, and a few others).  For
     example,

          UCInet> C A.SDSC.EDU

     will connect you to the Cray at the San Diego Supercomputer
     Center.

3.   It allows UCInet-connected hosts to access Dataswitch-connected
     hosts (and dial-out modems) through the use of the telnet
     protocol.  For example, if you have a Unix workstation or a VMS
     system TCP/IP software such as Tek/CMU, you would type:

          % telnet ds.uci.edu

     then "RS" to request a Dataswitch-connected system.

Please feel free to use this service.  If you have any questions about
it, please contact Mike Slagley (MSlagley@uci, x5158) or me
(DHWalker@uci, x7037).  As usual, problems that may occur should be
reported to the Computing Facility operator (x6530, x6065).
