Logging Into Your PILOT Account
Connecting to a Dialup
- The first thing you need to do is connect to our dialups using your
modem. A full List of Phone Numbers. to
dial into is available.
- When you first connect to the modem, you should see a screen
similar to the one shown here. You will see a message
indicating that you are connected to an NJIN server.
- You are now asked to enter your username. This is to verify
to the dialup that you are a valid user. Type your full
username here (username@pilot.njin.net) and then
your password, when prompted.
Connecting to PILOT
- Now that you've verified yourself to the dialup, you are ready
to connect to NJIN's server, PILOT .
- You will see a prompt similar to the one shown here. At the
prompt, type "pilot". The dialup will search for a few
seconds, and then connect to the PILOT server.
Logging into PILOT
- You are now connected to our server, and it is asking you to
enter your username. This time, you only need to enter your
username alone... without the "pilot.njin.net"
extention.
- So enter your username, and then your password when prompted.
Congratulations!
- Congratulations! You are now logged in! The "Message of the
day" appears, and then you may be prompted to enter your
TERMINAL TYPE. This is a setting you can set from your
software on your computer. Chances are, you will want a
setting such as "vt100".
- The default setting appears in brackets. You can press
[ENTER] to accept this terminal setting, or you can type
whatever setting you wish here.
Now What?
If you are unfamilliar with UNIX and UNIX commands, you will probably want
to run our menu program. (If it hasn't started automatically already.) To
do this, type the following two commands at the PILOT prompt:
setenv TERM vt100 [ENTER]
lush [ENTER]
Enjoy!
