Connecting to Banach
Step 1: Start SecureCRT using the MA Banach shortcut

Step 2: Open the connection to Banach

Step 3: Accept the host key

Step 4: Enter your Math login

Step 5: Enter your Math password

Running X Resources
This can be done either before or after you connect to banach
Step 1: Setup Exceed

Step 2: Start Exceed

If you set up X11 packet forwarding for your SecureCRT connection to banach
and you have Exceed running, any X11 command on Banach that would usually
open another program ( xterm, gnumeric, xemacs, etc. ) will display on your
monitor.
During the Academic Year 2001/2002, graduate students and faculty
at Purdue may download and install Hummingbird's Exceed 7.0 X-server
on personally owned PC-compatible computers from
Purdue Exceed download site. It is also very easy to set up a
secure ssh connection. You can download a nice version of the
software at http://www.ssh.com which
is free for users at a university. (To get a secure X connection that
works exactly as above, you will need to click on the Settings icon
(two gears) and click on Tunneling under Profile Settings. Put a
check mark in the box that says "Tunnel X11 Connections." You'll need
to start Exceed before or after you start SSH to get the X connection.)
You can also go to the Copy Center in the Union and get a copy of
Windows 2000 Professional for a mere $5 if you want to upgrade your
operating system.
Setting Your Service to Forward
Step 1: Go to the MailHub page
Go to http://directory.purdue.edu
and click "Edit my directory entry"

Step 2: Enter your Career Account Login and Password

Step 3: Select "Change Service"

Step 4: Set service
Set the service to "forward" and click "OK"

Step 5: Specify the destination
Specify your Math account, or any other account you choose, as your forwarding
address and click "OK"

Changing Your Email Address
You cannot actually change your address, but you can specify an alternate
address.
Step 1: Go to the Directory Information Page
Go back to your Directory Information Page and click "Change Email"

Step 2: Click "Specify Alternate Email Address"

Step 3: Specify the address
You can enter any valid email address @purdue.edu, as long as no one else
is already using it. After you have entered the address, click "OK".

Once you have specified an Alternate Email Address any email sent to that
address will be forwarded to your @purdue.edu address if your service is set
to "store", or to your math (or other) email address if your service is set
to "forward".
Setting Up Netscape to read your Math Account Email
Step 1: Edit Netscape Preferences

Step 2: Add New Mail Server
Click "Mail Servers" under "Mail & Newsgroups" and then click "Add".

Step 3: Specify the Mail Server
Enter the Server Name and your User Name and then click "OK".

Step 4: Set the new default server
Select the new Server and click the "Set as Default" button.

Step 5: Set the Outgoing SMTP Server
This step is optional. If you do not want to change the Outgoing SMTP
Server, just click "OK".
Designate the Outgoing SMTP Server and your username. Important: If you
change the Outgoing SMTP Server to "imaphost.math.purdue.edu" and do not
change the user name to your Math login, you won't be able to read mail.

Netscape Preferences
Your Netscape preferences, your address book, and your bookmarks are all saved
when you log out of the computer and restored when you log back in, so any
changes you make will be persistent and you will not have to make them
again.
Printing to Machines in Instructional Labs
To print from banach to a printer in an instructional lab, type
"lpr -Pprinter@franklin.cc filename", where printer is the
printer name and filename is what you want to print. If you don't know
the printer name, it is written on the printer, or you can look it up using
the "check printer queue" icon on the desktop.
To send jobs to the color printer in the Math Building, use "mathg109chp" as
the printer name. To send jobs to the transparency printer, use
"mathg109chp-t".
ResNet
Information about ResNet can be found at http://www.purdue.edu/resnet, or by going to the Information Center in
Math 231.
As part of the ResNet services, Instructional Computing also offers a
free off-campus 56K dial-up service to any faculty, staff, or student.
Getting Help
General account questions should be directed to the Instructional Computing
Services Information Center in Math 231.
Questions about specific Instructional Computing Resources can be sent to ma-mgr@purdue.edu.
