Console server instructions
Adding a host to the console server
This example is to connect a machine called "qworts" to the terminal server
on port S19:

To test, telnet to rts.firstlink.com, login as qworts, password pw4console,
and you should get something like this:
- elijah@alice$ telnet rts
Trying 66.37.143.11...
Connected to rts.firstlink.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
ComOS - Livingston PortMaster
login: qworts
Password: pw4console
Session established with port S19
hit enter a few times, and a console should
come up. VOILA.
other notes:
to send a stop-a to a sun machine when you're on the console through the
terminal server, hit ^] and then type in "send break" (without the quotes)
