 Name

    nlogin - remote login via IPX and NVT

 Syntax

    nlogin [-v] rhost

 Description

    The nlogin command connects your terminal on the current local host sys-
    tem to the remote host system, rhost.  This command is very similar to
    the rlogin command, one of the standard TCP/IP utilities.

    After executing nlogin, the remote host displays its login prompt; login
    as normal.  To disconnect from the remote host, enter a ~. (a tilde fol-
    lowed by a period).  Similarly, if you are running a shell on the local
    host that can perform job control, enter a <Ctrl>Z to suspend the nlogin
    session and return control to the shell on the local host.

    All echoing takes place at the remote site; consequently, except for
    delays, the remote login is transparent. Flow control, using  <Ctrl>S and
    <Ctrl>Q, and flushing of input and output on interrupts are handled prop-
    erly.

    nlogin options are interpreted as follows:

    -v   prints the IPX address of rhost after the name to address mapping
         has been performed
