14.4.7. I access a number of hosts through a terminal server.

Rather than waiting until you are connected and typing ``CONNECT <host>'' each time, use tip's cm capability. For example, these entries in /etc/remote:

            pain|pain.deep13.com|Forrester's machine:\
            :cm=CONNECT pain\n:tc=deep13:
            muffin|muffin.deep13.com|Frank's machine:\
            :cm=CONNECT muffin\n:tc=deep13:
            deep13:Gizmonics Institute terminal server:\
            :dv=/dev/cua02:br#38400:at=hayes:du:pa=none:pn=5551234:

will let you type ``tip pain'' or ``tip muffin'' to connect to the hosts pain or muffin; and ``tip deep13'' to get to the terminal server.
