Installing Teraterm Pro and ttssh

1. Download into C:\TEMP the following two files:
   ttermp23.exe
   ttssh154.zip
   
2. Double click ttermp23.exe and unpack it into C:\TEMP\tterm.
3. Double click C:\TEMP\tterm\setup.exe and install it into
   C:\Program Files\ttermpro
4. Rename readme.txt in that directory to t_readme.txt. This prevents this file from being overwritten at the next step.
5. Unpack ttsh154.zip into
   C:\Program Files\ttermpro
6. Make a shortcut to C:\Program Files\ttermpro\ttsh.exe for your startup menu, desktop, or both.

Using ttssh

1. Start teraterm from the ttssh shortcut. Starting the program this way will enable the ssh protocol. If you were to start Teraterm Pro directly only telnet and serial protocols would be available.
2. A the first dialog set:
   TCP/IP checked
   host: mendel.bio.caltech.edu
   service: SSH
   
   Then click OK
3. The first time you do this you will see a security alert. To avoid it in future sessions check the box that says Add the new key to the known hosts list and click on continue.
4. On the next dialog enter:
   User name: your_username
   Pass phrase: your_password
   check use plain password to login
   
   Remember to use the Unix password, not the VMS one, and that your_username is lowercase!
   
   
   Then click OK
5. You should now be logged into mendel.bio.caltech.edu
6. Please logout with an exit command before closing Teraterm.
7. You may want to customize Teraterm slightly, for instance, to increase the number of scroll lines retained.
8. GCG must be set up before use. To do so issue the command:
   % setup gcg
   If you have customized your .alias file so that setup is not defined you may use the equivalent command:
   % source /usr/local/setup/csh/gcg
9. To use the GCG Tektronix emulator (for graphics) in Teraterm Pro GCG needs to be told the name of your terminal, and that is different each time you log in. Issue the following command to set up tektronix graphics in a session:
   % tektronix tek4014 /dev/$tty
