Most systems have GUEST access, but if you are interested in long term access you can request an account.

HOW-TO Connect

Once you have a login, you may connect to the host using: 

ssh host@tty.sdf.org  -or-  ssh menu@tty.sdf.org
Direct Menu
ssh host@tty.sdf.org ssh menu@tty.sdf.org

Where host is the name of the host 2) 3) you wish to connect to (refer to a list below, or the MENU system). This will connect you across a telnet bridge to the host. You will then be prompted to log in with the account you have been granted. The second example will log you into the MENU system which acts as a springboard to all available remote systems.

You can also access the MENU system in the browser at https://ssh.sdf.org
