Compaq TCPIP Services for OpenVMS User's Guide

This document is the Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS User’s Guide, Version 5.3, published in April 2002. It serves as a comprehensive guide for OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS VAX users on how to utilize the various utilities and commands provided by the Compaq TCP/IP Services product.

The manual explains how to perform user-level services such as:

• File transfers using FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and RCP (Remote Copy).
• Remote logins and terminal sessions with RLOGIN, TELNET, and TN3270 (IBM 3270 terminal emulation).
• Issuing commands on remote hosts using RSH (Remote Shell) and REXEC (Remote Execute).
• Sending and receiving electronic mail via SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).
• Remote printing using LPR/LPD (Line Printer Remote/Daemon).
• Accessing user information on local and remote hosts using the FINGER utility.

The guide is intended for OpenVMS users who need to communicate with remote hosts on private internets or the worldwide Internet, assuming basic knowledge of the OpenVMS operating system and that the TCP/IP services are already installed and configured.
