Sessions Overview

CRT supports connections with a variety of protocols: telnet, rlogin, and serial. In addition, CRT supports modem dialing with the TAPI connection protocol. This section of the CRT help manual contains information on how to set up a session to connect with a remote machine using these protocols.

CRT allows you to personalize your settings and options and automatically use them every time you establish a connection to a remote computer This is accomplished by creating a session that will store your personalized settings under a session name.

A session is a set of options and customized settings that are assigned to a connection to a remote machine. These settings and options are saved under a session name and allow the user to have different preferences for different hosts.

When you start CRT for the first time, the Connect dialog will appear along with the main CRT window.
