[http://wso.williams.edu WSO's web site] is a work in progress.

Again, make the substitutions for your_port and username. Close the Terminal window and open a new one. Now, if you need to establish the connection, just type "wso3000" in a terminal window. You can pick a different alias, of course.

Source port: 3000

Destination port: (your special port)
