For NFS (network) access to the application and data housed by the RSI, your system administrator will need to setup a 'automount' entry.

All of the applications are located in /local/rsi, which is a share from the RSI server, orbit.ice.mtu.edu:/export/rsi.

The entry might look something like this:

rsi:	-rw,intr,noquota	orbit.ice.mtu.edu:/export/rsi
or for cachefs... 
rsi:	-fstype=cachefs,cachedir=/cache/fs,backfstype=nfs,bg,intr,noquota,nosuid	orbit.ice.mtu.edu:/export/rsi
All of the public RSI home directories are located in /home/rsi, which is a share from the RSI server, orbit.ice.mtu.edu:/export/rsidata/homes. 
rsi:		-rw,intr,noquota	orbit.ice.mtu.edu:/export/rsidata/homes
It is not recommended to mount the rsidata cachefs because of the read/write nature of home directories.

All of the public RSI data is located in /local/rsidata, which is a share from the RSI server, orbit.ice.mtu.edu:/export/rsidata. 
rsidata:	-rw,intr,noquota	orbit.ice.mtu.edu:/export/rsidata
It is not recommended to mount the rsidata cachefs, because the files are SO large....

In order to start the applications, you will need to add the RSI script directory to your binary search path. This is easiest done in your ~/.login by adding the following line: 
set path = ( /local/rsi/bin $path )
or, a better approach might be: 


if ( -x /local/rsi/bin/idl ) then

set path = ( /local/rsi/bin $path )

endif

Some departments have required info in your ~/.login, so its best to place this line near the bottom, or ask you system administrator for assistance. There are unique startup scripts in /local/rsi/bin for all the applications available to the RSI. These scripts set up any environments specific to the applications.
