[comp.sys.ibm.pc] okidata 182 serial printer cable

farhad@corwin.usc.edu (Farhad Khansefid) (01/21/88)

we have two serial cabling problems:

we have several okidata 182 plus printers with serial interfaces
( both high speed and regular serial interfaces ). 

(1) we are trying to connect them to a 386 machine running sco xenix
2.2.1 with a digiboard com/8s multiserial port. we have been able to
get them going using the xon/xoff protocol, but we wish to set them up
using a more robust hardware protocol using DTR, CTS and/or RTS lines. Any
experience with cable wiring and stty set up?

(2) we have some wyse50 terminals and wish to connect some of the
above printers as local printers to the auxiliary ports of the wyse 50s.
Any experience with the cable wiring?

I appreciate hearing about your experiences on the above problems.
