Abstract
The present invention is provided by installing a piece of computer software on a Windows NT system to enable the Windows NT system to bypass messages sent by a Unix system while communications are being established over a phone line between the two operating systems. The Unix operating system has a communications protocol which sends out messages during and requires a password and login to establish communications. The present invention provides a port grabbing routine, a skipping routine, a calling program and a Unix emulator to enable the Windows NT system to establish communications with the Unix system without having to alter the Unix system in any way.
