When I try to use terminals connected to a computone board at 19.2Kb,
they just won't work. I use a correct entry in /etc/ttys and /etc/ttytypes.
I disable and then re-enable the port. It doesn't want to work. Could it
be my cable? My boss is a messy-dos salesman ( he refuses to believe that
some hardware refuses to work with XENIX. He also thinks that VP/ix was
developed to be a multiuser dos system, but that's another story.) and insists
on the cheapest hardware. The cable is only 3 conductor. Could that be the
problem? The board should be able to handle 19.2.
Thank you in advance,
Mark

We want to help but you've prevented us due to the fact that we have to work to hard to figure out the solution with you. You have not given us the lines in your 'ttys' or 'ttytypes' files. (maybe there is something wrong there 8-) Do you have any specs on the cabling configuration? What sort of entries have you configured on the terminals? What is your gettydefs file like? etc.? etc.?? etc.??? "Makes it tough for all o' us ignorant people out here ta help ya" ;-) Do you get the drift? By the time we bat the questions back and forth three-to-ten times (read lots and lots of $$$$), you should have been able to solve the problem.
