Accessing GSU's Unix systems

• on campus on a Windows '95 computer click on the start button. From the start menu select the internet submenu. From the submenu select telnet, and connect to panther supplying your password.
• off campus using an Internet provider such as Peachnet CampusMCI, BellSouth.net and Mindspring, or AOL. This method has a key advantage over dialup lines: graphical Web browsers are usable.
• off campus using dialup lines. This method does not permit graphical Web browsers, but is very adequate for our class. For example, reading these instructions via a dialup line requires a nongraphical browser such as lynx. To use lynx at GSU, type the following from panther:

lynx http://www.gsu.edu/~dscbms/dsc8450/sas/sasunix.html

                        LYNX USERS GUIDE VERSION 2.4.2

   Lynx is a fully-featured World Wide Web (WWW) client for users running
   cursor-addressable, character-cell display devices (e.g., vt100
   terminals, vt100 emulators running on PCs or Macs, or any other
   "curses-oriented" display). It will display hypertext markup language
   (HTML) documents containing links to files residing on the local
   system, as well as files residing on remote systems running Gopher,
   HTTP, FTP, WAIS, and NNTP servers. Current versions of Lynx run on
   UNIX and VMS. A Beta version for DOS is also available.
