.SH NAME
remote \- transfer control to a remote ZEUS/UNIX system
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B remote
.RI [ system_name ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Remote
is used to transfer control to a remote system running
ZEUS or UNIX software.
Additionally, using the utilities
.BR getfile (1)
and
.BR putfile (1),
files can be up and down loaded between the remote and local systems.
.IR System_name
indicates the name of the system to which control is to be transferred.
If no
.IR system_name
is given, the first system in "/usr/spool/uucp/remotelines"
is taken as default.
.PP
If the remote system does not respond within twenty seconds, the
remoteline times out and a message "remote line to
.I system_name
timed out" is printed.  This can occur if the remoteline is disconnected
or if the remote system is down.
.PP
Also, if
.B remote
terminates via a "hangup", a "logout" is sent to the remote system and
control is returned to the local system. 
.PP
If the remote system should go
down while connected to it through 
.BR remote ,
it is possible to return to the local system by using the
control-\\ (ASCII fs).
This feature can also be useful
when using
.B remote
over a dial-up line.
