Use as a LAN terminal

For terminal only operation, no setup is usually needed at all on the host side,
though your system administrator may feel more comfortable adding the terminal
name and IP address to the /etc/hosts file. In fact, this including in /etc/hosts is
required if you will be using a printer attached to the SpotLine M110 as a system
wide device (See below).

5.4 Use with Other Operating Systems

The SpotLine M110 terminal may be used as a terminal off any
other host system that supports asynchronous terminals or Ethernet
LAN Telnet sessions.

Complete emulation details of the SpotLine M110 are contained in
Chapter 7 of this manual. You will notice that the control codes are
very similar to other industry standard terminals.
