To gain access
0 Terminal setup: no specific terminal settings required. Terminals already
connected to AARNet should not be altered.
1. telnet to: library.deakin.oz.au.
You may need to have already established a session on a computer at your
institution, which is connected to AARNet. Alternatively, you may be able to
establish a connection directly from your terminal server. Consult your local
Computing Centre for further advice.
2. If the connection is successful, you will receive something similar to:-
SunOS UNIX (sol.deakin.OZ.AU.)
login:
3. Type: alice Press: [RETURN]
4. The system will then indicate when ALICE was last used, display any
"messages of the day", and then try to determine the type of terminal being
used. If it cannot be determined automatically, the system will prompt you for
the device type.
TERM = (unknown)
Type: <the code corresponding to your terminal type>. Some terminal types are:-
tatung Tatung VT-4100 vt100 DEC VT-100 vt52 VT-52 v3 TV1-910,920 6310 hazeltine
6310 (other codes on request from the Assistant Systems Librarian -
craige@deakin.oz.au)
Press: [RETURN]
(If you don't know the terminal type, simply press [RETURN] and the system will
attempt to provide a reasonable format).
5. The system will try to establish a connection to the Library's computer.
If the connection fails the system will respond with "Remote is busy".
The system will then break the connection with your terminal, and you will need
to restart from Step 1 to establish a new connection.
If the connection is established, the system will respond with:-
a) clearing the screen
b) give instructions for starting and finishing an ALICE session i.e.
Type "Q" to start, <CR>~.<CR> to end.
You can now start ALICE, and any subsequent commands will need to be ALICE
commands. Usually, the appropriate ALICE commands are displayed at the bottom
of the screen, but a user should consult the above- mentioned Guide before any
serious use of the system.
To leave ALICE
1. At any stage of a search within ALICE, you may leave it.
Press: [RETURN]
Type: ~. (i.e. tilde, dot) Press: [RETURN]
2. The system will immediately break the connection to the Library's computer,
and then break the connection between your terminal and the system.
