If you received the error message “No set of compatible algorithms could be found” while attempting to connect, the server and client could not agree, and that message may have brought you to THIS PAGE! Generally,

It uses Terminal.GetHostname to get the hostname which it uses to construct the logfile name, and Terminal.OpenLog to actually open the log. The rest is pure VBScript to get the date and time and to create
The following script uses two commands (WaitFor and SendText) to perform the bare minimum tasks required to perform a scripted login. This script could go in the login script location in Options->Properties->Scripts section if this script is specific to the session file you currently have open. It could also go in Options->Properties->Global as the global login
