RLOGIN
    Log on to a host through the terminal server command interface
The RLOGIN command allows you to log on to a host through the terminal server.
To do this, the terminal server passes a username for the remote host or a username for
a remote terminal server port from the RLOGIN command line.
N o t e s
A network manager can implement the RLOGIN function on a host in different ways.
Some implementations allow you to specify a username with the RLOGIN command
and bypass the login routine on the host.  Other implementations may function
differently.  Check with the network manager if you have questions about which
keywords and variables to enter with the RLOGIN command.
The terminal server may take a few seconds to establish a Telnet connection to a
domain name after it has been initialized.  During this time, the server is attempting to
locate the Domain Name Server, look up the Internet address for the domain name, and
then make the connection.  Subsequent attempts to connect to that Telnet host occur
without delay, because the terminal server has a record of the Telnet address for that
domain name.
