dgate(1c) — Unsupported
Name
dgate − log in to a DECnet remote system through an intermediate ULTRIX DECnet host (gateway system)
Syntax
dgate host
Description
The dgate command lets you log in from an ULTRIX system without DECnet to a remote system on DECnet (specified by the host argument) through an intermediate host, or gateway system: an ULTRIX system attached to DECnet.
The login is accomplished through an intermediate host, or gateway system, to which your system is connected through a local area (TCP/IP) network. The gateway system is specified at the local system in the file /etc/dgateway. The gateway system must be connected through DECnet to the ultimate host system that you specify in the dgate command.
The dgate program scans input for lines beginning with a tilde character (~). A tilde-period line disconnects you from your current dgate session. A tilde-CTRL/Z line suspends dgate and returns you to the parent process. A tilde-tilde line passes the tilde character on to the remote login session.
