To trace a cable coming from a machine, back to an ate-dialable tty number,
- Trace the cable to the modem block,
- Go up, through the modem and follow the other cable to the black box,
  which will be labelled "Box #1" (or 2 or 3 or 4).
- Determine which port in that box the cable is using.
- Then go to Pine's console and type lscfg | grep tty, and look for
  that box number & port number. 

For example, I needed to use spider's ate port.  There was a connection
from spider, but it wasn't in Dale's dir, dir2, or dir3 file.  Which tty
was it?  I saw that it went into Box #2 at port 3, and the lscfg line
showed 
  + tty21             00-06-02-03       Asynchronous Terminal
which says that tty21 was correct.  Dale updated the dir3 file.

If you get a staggered console with say, a d dir2 ate command, try setting
the window width to 79 characters.

Use control-b to tell ate to start or stop writing into the capture file,
by default, named kapture.  Warning!  There is no obvious indication whether
ate is currently writing into (capturing) the kapture file or not, so be
aware how many times you hit ctl-b.  You *can* however hit ctl-v to get to
the main menu, then the m key to look at the current settings.  That menu
tells you whether ate is currently capturing or not as well as the name of
the kapture file.  You can change both settings from that menu, too.

To use the console concentrator on Pine,
 
  - Go to the Pine console or telnet to pine,
  - aixterm -fn rom17 -title "Maple" -e ate &  For example,  This gets you to
                                               ate's UNCONNECTED MAIN MENU.
  - Determine the tty number you want to use by
    - d   This defaults to using the /u/operator/dir file as a list the tty
          ports.  ate is limited to 20 ports per directory file, so dir only
          has the first 20.  See dir2 for the rest of them.
    - <enter> if you want dir, else dir2 <enter>.  Make note of the tty #.
    - e   to exit and return to ate's UNCONNECTED MAIN MENU.
  - a d tty#   to switch to that tty#.  For example, a d tty11 for Maple.
               This is the shorthand method.  Alternatively, you could type
               a <enter> to "alter connection settings", d tty11 <enter> to
               change to using tty port # 11, then <enter> to return to ate's
               UNCONNECTED MAIN MENU.
  - c   to connect.
  - <enter> at the Phone # prompt.
  - <enter> again at the blank screen to get a login prompt.

When you're done, type exit (or ctl-d) to logout.

  - ctl-r to get back to ate
  - disc -y or no prompt
  - yes to return to ate's UNCONNECTED MAIN MENU.
  - quit to quit ate.

ate reads ~/ate.def, which has 21 lines, one of which is
  DIRECTORY    /u/jasper/dir, which is the default directory.
There's also dir2, so under /u/jasper on pine (which btw, is
local storage to pine, not afs) are three files, 
    ate.def
    dir
and dir2.
Make sure these three files stay in synch with the originals under
/u/operator (also local).
