RFC 254
Scenarios for using ARPANET computers
Scenarios for Using ARPANET Computers ✨
RFC 254, by A. K. Bhushan of MIT Project MAC (NIC 7695), dated October 1971. It's filed under the Network Working Group. The header doesn't list a category or status, and it doesn't say what it obsoletes or updates. 🦋
This scenario booklet is here to help you use ARPANET host computers over the ARPANET 🛰️. The whole point is to help you sample host computers on the ARPANET, so you get hyped about using it. 💖
The scenarios walk you through logging in and trying out some simple or interesting features. They also cover getting on-line help, like on-line documentation and chatting with experienced users through "link" or "message" style mechanisms. There's a bit on TELNETS "piggy-back login" too, which is especially useful if you're a systems programmer debugging and testing your protocol implementations 🧚. Where it makes sense, there's also an exercise where you edit and run a very simple program.
The scenarios assume the MIT-DMCG PDP-10 computer system, but they're easy to adapt to other systems 🌸. The annotated scripts are there to help you use a particular host computer. Comments go in parentheses, and user input is underlined. In the scripts, a carriage return is shown as <CR>, and a space is shown as a blank (so, no typing). Escape to your local user TELNET is shown with a backslash, which is the default escape character on the MIT_DMCG system. There are extra blank lines in lots of places just to make the scripts easier to read 📖.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: The author thanks Bob Bressler, Rich Guida, Bob Metcalfe, Jim Michener, and Neal Ryan for helping put this Scenarios booklet together 🫶.
NOTE: Comments and suggestions are very welcome 💜. Send them to Abhay Bhushan, Room 208, 545 Technology Square, Cambridge, Mass 02139. (Tel. 817-864-6900 x1428).

SEX treats network interaction as half-duplex and line-at-a-time, and it assumes local echo 🙈. Sex does not accept commands in lower case alphabetics. If you aren't in upper case mode, hit <BRK> on the MIT_DMCG IMLAC so you don't get stuck 💀.

NIC works best in character-at-a-time mode with remote echo 🦋. After you connect, switch your mode to full-duplex at NIC, because their default is half-duplex. You can use NIC in half-duplex (with local echo) and line-at-a-time mode, but it's way less convenient. NIC commands are similar to BBN TENEX, but the NLS subsystem is different 🙄.

The SRI (AI) box runs TENEX too, just like the BBN one 💅 but, ngl, they weren't answering logins over the ARPANET, so we couldn't get in to test anything 🙈. That means no scenario for them yet. They promised to update this section as soon as they can accept logins over the ARPANET 🫶

Utah runs TENEX as well, and it's similar to the BBN system 🦋 The password for Network users there is THISISANINTENTIONALLYLONGPASSWORD 🔐 Their logger isn't available yet, and we couldn't log in to their system, so, no scenario script for this one 😭
BBN PDP-10 (A) TENEX Network address 69 🍓
TENEX is at its best in character-at-a-time mode with remote echo ✨ But here's the tea: TENEX treats network users as half-duplex by default, so you should either switch your mode to FULLDUPLEX, or escape into NETWRK and ask for local echo 💅 At command level, TENEX doesn't tell upper and lower case alphabetics apart 🙈 The programs "DOCTOR" and "LIFE" might not be available on the BBN PDP-10(A) system, but you can still use them from the BBN PDP-10(B) system 🧚

The BBN PDP-10(B) is an experimental TENEX system, pretty similar to the BBN PDP-10(A) TENEX system (network address 69.) 🧁 Because the two are so alike, no scenario is given here. For the scenario, check out the BBN PDP-10(A) system (page12) ✨ The one difference is the account number: on this system you use "1" instead of the "site name" from the BBN PDP-10(A) system 🎀

\?connections aborted?\and that's the whole logout era 🎀 you type /? if you need the menu, then logout to leave CMS, and CP logs you out and disconnects you. the timestamps at the end are just receipts 🧾✨
Now the other hosts. Some of them are giving "not available rn" energy 😭
LINCOLN LABS TX-2 Network address 74.
_____________________________________ngl the status of Lincoln TX-2 is uncertain 🥺 there's no scenario here because TX-2 isn't working as a server right now. this part gets updated once TX-2 can take logins over the ARPANET 🦋
STANFORD (AI) PDP-10 Network address 11.
_________________________________________Stanford's PDP-10 isn't working over the ARPANET at the moment, so no scenario yet 💀 it'll get updated as soon as the host is actually providing service 🧚
ILLINOIS PDP-11 Network address 12.
____________________________________we couldn't connect to Illinois because it's meant to be user only for now 🙈 so no scenario. this section gets updated once Illinois can accept login over the ARPANET 🌸
CASE PDP-10 DEC 10/50 MONITOR Network address 13.
_________________________________________________Case runs the DEC 10/50 time-sharing monitor and it's identical to the Harvard system 🍓 no scenario script because Case isn't providing service over the ARPANET right now. updated once Case will accept login over the ARPANET 💜
CARNEGIE PDP-10 DEC 10/50 MONITOR Network address 14.
_____________________________________________________Carnegie is giving the same energy as Case 🫶 it uses the DEC 10/50 time-sharing monitor, identical to Harvard, and there's no scenario script since Carnegie isn't providing service over the ARPANET at the present time. this section gets updated once Carnegie will accept login over the ARPANET ✨
PAOLI B6500 ILLIAC Network address 15.
______________________________________the status of Paoli is uncertain, bestie 😭 we haven't been able to communicate with it via the ARPANET, so no scenario script for now. updated once Paoli is able to accept login over the ARPANET 👑
