              USING TSO VIA ARPA NETWORK VIRTUAL TERMINAL


A.  Connecting to TSO
    -----------------

    IBM's Time Sharing Option (TSO) is available at UCLA-CCN on Socket 1
    using the standard Telnet protocol.

    1.  To access TSO, the remote user performs ICP to Socket 1 at CCN
        and executes the command:

                    TSO CR LF
                        -- --

    2.  Possible responses to the TSO command are:

        a.  "WELCOME TO UCLA/CCN TSO"

            followed by a herald ("!").  TSO is available.   A TSO LOGON
            command should be entered following the herald.

        b.  "TSO NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME"

            The user should check the TSO schedule and verify that it
            should be available. If so, he can call the CCN on-line help
            phone, 213-825-1652 for availability information, or send a
            message to the operator through NETRJS.

        c.  "ALL TSO PORTS BUSY"

            The user should try again after a short time. If this
            condition recurs frequently, notify the Technical Liaison at
            CCN so that more Network ports can be added.
