HELP!!! I have recently aquired an IBM 3101 work station terminal with printer. The price was right (gratis!). I just have one slight problem, I have NO idea how to use it! Can anyone out there educate me as to how I might make this beasty communicate with anything? Several questions that I specifically would like answered are: 1. How are baud rates set? 2. Is this an ASCII compatible terminal? If not, 3. Is there a way to convert it to ASCII? An interface card/chip? 4. Can this terminal communicate asyncronously? 5. What do all these extra function keys do? (I'm used to DEC VT52/100 type eqp) Any an all info associated with these devices would be most appreciated. Also, if anyone out there has the actual Users and or repair manuals for 3101's (circa 1979 manufacture) and can part with them (I'm not sure if this is even a legal request?) please let me know via posting to this news group (I posted this to net.wanted, .micro, .info-terms) or e-mail info to: UUCP> ...DECWRL!RHEA!FREMEN!TILLERY EASYNET>FREMEN::TILLERY RyKi_T
