Opens a communication with the remote machine named MACHINE. MACHINE may be an alphanumeric host name or a TCP/IP address (e.g. CERNVM, 128.141.1.181) This command will prompt you for user authentification. Normally, a server is started by software known as the Internet Daemon, or inetd. This is not available with certain versions of TCP/IP, notably DEC/UCX, IBM VM/CMS and MVS. On VM/CMS systems only, the server is started using the REXEC remote execution client, supplied as part of IBM's TCP/IP software. More information on the inetd can be obtained by typing "man inetd" on a Unix system.
