 **RLogin** (port 513) logs you straight in. As in SyncTERM, the BBS user name goes in **Username** and the password (or the key some door servers give you) in **Connection → RLogin → Client user name**.

 +**BBS Directory.** To find a BBS and connect without making a session first, use the **BBS Directory** button on the toolbar (or **Tools → BBS Directory…**). It downloads the Synchronet BBS List and the Telnet BBS Guide, keeps the BBSes you have used at the top, and saves a BBS as a session when you press **Save as session**. See [[lanternterminal:bbsdirectory|BBS Directory]].
  
 **Importing a BBS list.** **Tools → Import BBS list (SyncTERM)…** reads a SyncTERM dialling directory (''syncterm.lst''). A preview lists every entry; untick any you do not want and choose the folder. Nothing is saved if you cancel. Passwords are left out unless you tick the option to store them in the system password store; RLogin sessions then log in with them. Modem and other unsupported entries are listed as skipped. **Importing a BBS list.** **Tools → Import BBS list (SyncTERM)…** reads a SyncTERM dialling directory (''syncterm.lst'').
