Heather, you access your web page by using a web browser
(IE, Mozilla, Safari, etc. depending on machine and OS)
and go to:

http://www.cs.trinity.edu/~hwiseman

I'm not sure what you mean by "link up".  If you mean
"How can I create/change my cs web page", University
firewall provides a barrier which makes this complicated.

Here are the steps:

1)  Install putty on your machine (I'm assuming you are a Win
user.  It is easier if you use Linux or Mac OS X on your machine).

Putty may be downloaded from:

http://www.cs.trinity.edu/ftp/pub/winxp-software/Putty/054/putty-0.54-installer.exe

2)  Access http://www.cs.trinity.edu/ip-no.cgi and send me the
ip number provided by your internet supplier so that I can enable
a ssh (secure shell) hole in our firewall for your machine.

3)  Using the newly installed putty program, Connect to our
firewall machine (besure the select SSH)

Bianca.CS.Trinity.Edu

Once you are logged into Bianca, you should use the ssh program
to login to the Xena machine of your choice where you can run J
or use an editor to edit your web page or write lab reports.

This is done by using the command

ssh xena01 

on Bianca.

Unfortunately, the editor program gedit requires that your machine
run an X server (a program you probably don't have unless you have
a Linux or MacOS X machine--the program exists, but costs $$ unless
you have Linux or MacOS X where it is included as a part of the
operating system to make it easy to interact with non-Win systems which
is something Redmond doesn't seem to want to do).

The solution is to learn (not hard to do) how to use the editor
vi .  vi works in a normat terminal window.  See:

http://www.cs.trinity.edu/About/The_Courses/cs101l/101.outline/vi-doc.html

or

for information on using vi.
