There is a new modem pool of 96 modems that supports up to 28.8. The login procedure is different than the old way. At the Login, enter your username followed by .telnet, and for the password use your Unix password:
Login: username.telnet Password: your Unix password Host: SOLIX For instance if your username is jqwert99 and yout Unix password is 123456 Login: jqwert99.telnet Password: 123456 Host: SOLIX
then you will be connected to SOLIX. The responses are case sensitive.
If you call from Broward, you must access the FIRN system. The number is
467-4690
after connecting, type A and then a couple of ENTERS. When it asks for a password, enter MENU. Choose 1 for SERVAX. This will get you to the LOCAL> prompt.
However, now that you can call for only a quarter, you can also just use the normal number.
Set up the line as
NO PARITY, 8 DATA BITS, FULL DUPLEX (NO LOCAL ECHO), 1 STOP BIT
If you are using the WINDOWS TERMINAL utility (HYPERTERMINAL in Win95), you should set up several things under the SETTINGS MENU:
Terminal Emulation: VT100 Terminal Preferences: DO NOT use the function keys for WINDOWS (uncheck the box) NO Local Echo Communications: No Parity 8 bits 1 stop bit XON/XOFF Phone Numbers: 305-348-3282 305-468-1674 954-229-2598
Save these settings so you can use them again.
It is possible to connect to the WWW in two fashions: host-based and direct connection. The host-based connection only allows you to see text, whereas a direct connection allows you to see graphics and to hear sounds.
In order to establish a host-based access to the WWW, connect through a normal communications package (Terminal, Hyperterminal, Procomm, Telix, ...) to solix.
Login: username.telnet Password: your Unix password Host: SOLIX For instance if your username is jqwert99 and yout Unix password is 123456 Login: jqwert99.telnet Password: 123456 Host: SOLIXOnce there, type the command lynx.
There are two ways to establish a direct connection, depending on what type of an account you have at the school. If you only have a normal student account, then it is possible to emulate a SLIP connection through solix. If you have a PPP account, then you have a direct connection to the WWW.
As long as you are a registered student, you can have an account to use the school's computers. This account is not needed to use the PCs in the computer labs, but it is needed to long onto the computers with names: solix. The account that you get will give you access to all of these computers.
To get the account, you must connect to the solix computer. When you are prompted with login, type the single word (no spaces) unixshell. You will then be asked some information like name and student number. Then you will be given a user name and a password. Write them down! Then you will be logged off the computer. You won't be able to access the computers for another 24 hours, while your account is being activated.
You may get more information about UnixShell from http://uts.fiu.edu/index.cfm?action=unixstud
In the future, you will use your user name and password to log onto any of the named computers.
Once you have a school account, it is good for many computers here at FIU: solix.
From the command prompt on serss1 and solix, issue the command
passwd
in order to change your password. You will be asked for three things:
If you have forgotten your password, then type in the
username
changepass
at the user name prompt when you first connect to solix.
If you have forgotten your user name, then go to this
website
https://intra.fiu.edu/irm/sc/studsearch/index2.htm
From the Windows 95 Start button at school, look for Connecting to Hosts, and select solix.
Then enter your username and password when prompted.
