4.20 VAX Networking

In this lab you will use some of the proprietary networking protocols provide by DEC (Digital Equipment Corp.) to network their machines. DEC calls it LAT for Local Area Transport. In addition to providing TCP/IP many computer manufactures also provide their own network interface that only works with their equipment and software.
  1. Use the set host command to access PIMACC. The /LOG qualifier creates the file SETHOST.LOG. 
    $ SET HOST /LOG PIMACC
    You can login on with the captive account SCHEDULE so at the USERNAME: prompt enter SCHEDULE. This "captive account" will let you look at the college class schedule data base. When you are done control is returned to WEST.

  2. Produce a directory listing of your files, but force it to use the network. (The network server will produce a file called NETSERVER.LOG -- this may take several minutes) 
    $ DIRECTORY WEST"user-name password"::*.*
    You may want to change your password after this. Your password will be in plan text on the screen (for a while). If you did this lab in R6, please change your password. If you did it from home, there is no need to. As a reminder, the command is: 
    $ SET PASSWORD
Turn in copies of BOTH the SETHOST.LOG and NETSERVER.LOG stapled together and marked with:
