4949.0. "How to make PASTHRU easier to use" by CGOOA::DOLMAN (John of all trades - master of none) Fri Apr 23 1993 17:49

I am working on a site that has a number of non-Digital terminal servers
which they access using PASTHRU. They don't like the way PASTHRU asks all of 
the questions about address, etc. each time they start it up. Is it possible
to pass this information directly to the MCC_TS_AM_PASTHRU.EXE program so
that it will not request it interactively?

My idea is to register their terminal servers then use the Application Launch
Facility to bring up PASTHRU when they double-click on the icon. For this to
work, I was hoping to enter the parameters for the PASTHRU program in the
following manner: 

 $ PASTHRU :== $MCC_TS_AM_PASTHRU
 $ PASTHRU <ethernet address> <login-passwd> <maint-passwd> <service-cir>

Of course I tried it and it did not work. Is there another way to accomplish
the same end. I also tried NCP CONNECT VIA commands but i can't figure out how
to pass the login password so that it does not need to be specified every time.

Any assistance in streamlining this process would be appreciated.
