NAME
     appsrvr - link login and authorizaion client

SYNOPSIS
     appsrvr [-xsdf]

DESCRIPTION

     The appsrvr utility opens a connection on the appsrvr port
     (7001/udp by default) and listens for a password request from an
     Ascend Pipeline(TM).  The appsrv then prompts the user for a password
     providing any challenge information that the Pipeline provides it with.

     The options are as follows:

     -x      send the Openwindows open/close icon escape sequence before
	     issuing a challenge and after receiving a password.
     	     (open: \033[1t close: \033[2t).

     -s      strip any typed chars to 7 bits.  Only needed if you are running
	     a terminal and unix system from the early Paleolithic era.

     -d      print out debugging information.  Beware: This will also cause
             any typed passwords to be output to the screen.

     -f      send fake challenges.  Only useful if you want to impress your
	     coworkers with how many challenges the system sends you.

USAGE
     
     $ appsrvr     
     (pipeline.your.domain) Challenge: 1 c67ea6
     Password: <type password here>

     (pipeline.your.domain) Challenge: 1 7eb0e7
     Password: <type password here>

BUGS
     The appsrvr is a great way to turn a dial on demand link into a 
     manually run link.

HISTORY
     This command is only here because some system admins think its a great
     way to prevent folks from actually wanting to work via an ISDN link.
