Hi Pavlo,
I personally have met with mixed results using this technique. Thus, I 86'd
it for lab attempt purposes. Sure would suck to wind up losing half an hour
troubleshooting something after shaving off just a few seconds...
Cheers,
Scott

Hi Tom.
No, you issue a "send *" on the TS
and then start typing the commands line by line.
So for example if I wasnt time on ALL of my devices to be set at 8:00 am, I
would go to TS # mode, and type
send *
clock set 8am
^Z
the Z is for send. (clock is an example, we all know the syntax)
Regards,
Pavlo
