To configure your windows-based personal computer to access the internet:
(Please note that the text below is an elaboration of the text provided
by computing services. I have merely added a bit more detail for those
unfamiliar with the loading and setting up of new software....)
1.
Format a high-density 3 1/2" floppy
(You may use File Manager under Main; Format option...)
(If you are unfamiliar with the procedure, refer to step 3 below..
Once in Program Manager, select Main, File Manager, File,
Format,)
2. Go to any of the machines in the 486 lab room in the second floor lab
(Go to the lab in the glass-enclosed room.)
3. If the machine is not on,
. power up the machine and the monitor (each have buttons)
. The machine will scroll quite a bit of text.
.. You may have to hit "any key" once or twice, as requested
4. Double click on the Network icon
. This instantiates the Network Window.
. Locate the CopySlip icon
. Double click on this icon after inserting your formatted diskette
in
drive A.
5. A considerable amount of software is loaded onto your floppy; in
fact,
almost the entire floppy is needed.
6. Take this home to be uploaded into your windows environment.
=======================================
At home:
1. Go into Windows.
2. Put the floppy in your A drive
3. Go to Main, File Manager, and select drive A in the drive bar.
. The contents list will display the files (around five) that
reside
on the disk.
. Double click on the slipdocs.txt file.
.. This will bring up Notebook
.. Using the File, Print, print yourself off a copy of this
.
document
(About one page. You will need it later)
Then, double click on the .bat file in the Contents List
(This is the rightmost part of the screen produced by the
File Manager.)
.. As discussed in class, this is an executable file and will
cause
many of the "compressed" files on the floppy to be inflated,
etc.
..
4.
This batch file will also create two subdirectories on your
machine: a tcpip subdirectory and a temp subdirectory.
When this activity concludes, (See slipdocs.txt for directions from
here. But, for completeness, let me include the text: These next
steps were created by Bryan in Computing Services and slightly
modified by me.)
A. Go to the Program Manager window (You may have to restore it; it
may be minimized...)
B. From the File menu select New, New Group, and use Tab to jump to
the Group File field: and type in: C:\TCPIP\TCPIPAPP.GRP and

parameters that Winsock needs to run.
In the IP Address field, type 0.0.0.0 and in the Name server
field, type 139.62.200.192
(You may use the Tab key to advance to the proper text
boxes...)
.
.
Check the Internal SLIP.
In the COM port number, enter the COM port number your modem

If you have not started tcp, double click this icon.
Then, log in via the dialer, login, as usual.
Then, minimize the trumpet winsock window
Double-click on Winqvt/net icon
. This brings up a winqvt/net dialog box
. Select (click on) the terminal symbol (the monitor)
.
You will get another dialog box.
In the text box, enter: osprey.unf.edu
Press enter or click OK. (You may have to wait a bit

You will then receive another window requesting you to log
here....)
on
using your login id (given out in class) and your password
(your ssan until you change it...)
H. Once logged in, you are now communicating with osprey, the
computer on which you can send and receive mail. This is
also the computer on which the public directory for this
course resides:
/usr/public/cgs2060/rlantz
.
I.
J.
Using mail, linking to the public directory, ... are
now possible. (See below...)
When completed with mail (pine) etc. you need to log out.
From the unix prompt, $, issue an lo command and press
enter.

telephone line...
. Restore (maximize) your TCP icon on the desktop.
. Go to the Dialer
. Select Bye
M. NOW, you are done....
Once logged into osprey, a unix-based machine, from the unix
prompt, key in "pine" (without quotes). Pine is an interface to
the unix mail system that contains a menu with options.
Using pine, if you have received mail since you last logged in,
you will get the message (you have new mail) when you log into
osprey.
4. From the unix prompt, key in pine (lower case).
5. Select I for index.
6. From home, you may have to use control-n to advance the
highlighted
box down, control-p to move the cursor up, control-b to advance
"back" and control-f to advance forward. You will have to play
with
these keystrokes to gain familiarity. control-d is used to
delete
characters.

email
In pine, note the menu choices at the bottom of the screen for
replying to a message, quitting, exiting, and other options....
Be careful of printing. If you are at home, you may print an
message by pressing O, Y, and enter (for Yes). A message will
print to the printer connected to your home computer.
9.
Additional helpful Unix commands include:
. ls for listing the contents of a specific
directory/subdirectory
. lpr filename
Sends the requested file to the connected
dot
matrix printer in the lab.
. less filename
Displays the contents of a text file on
your
screen one page at a time.
You can also log into osprey without any of the above software using:
1. Windows Terminal within windows...
2. In the second floor lab, selecting osprey from the appropriate
windows displayed.
