  NAME

    vt - Initiates an ISO/OSI virtual terminal remote login

  SYNOPSIS

    vt [-p profile_name] host

  FLAGS

    -p profile_name
           The profile_name should be default or transparent.  If not
           specified, transparent is used.

    host   This flag indicates the host to which you want to communicate.  The
           host you specify must have an entry in the /etc/hosts.vt file.

  DESCRIPTION

    The vt program initiates the remote login service based on the ISO
    standards (ISO 9040, ISO 9041). Two profiles (i.e. defined sets of
    protocol parameters) are currently implemented: default and transparent.

    The "default" profile is line-by-line, locally echoed, allows the
    printable characters, and provides a base standardization for
    interoperation with any host supporting OSI/VT.

    The "transparent" profile (specified by NIST OSI Implementors Workshop
    Stable Implementation Agreements) is char-by-char, remote echoed, and
    passes all ASCII characters uninterpreted. This is useful when the
    initiator and host are the same type of system.

    The host command line argument is the name of the AE-responder which is an
    entry in the /etc/hosts.vt file. Usually, the entries in the /etc/hosts.vt
    file correspond to host names.

  EXAMPLES

    This example connects, using the "transparent" profile, to the vt service
    responder on the host specified by the "blaise" entry in /etc/hosts.vt.

    vt blaise


    This example uses the "default" profile to connect to "uunet"

    vt -p default uunet
