[comp.unix.questions] using VT220 with Ultrix

cormac@rtech.UUCP (04/23/87)

Can anyone advise me on how to set up my Ultrix system such that
a vt220 terminal can understand the getty sent by the system? 
It works fine when the vt220 is setup like a vt100, but we want 
to use the keypad under VMS, and have to change terminal setup to
use unix. If you can advise please respond via e-mail, I don't
always have time to read this group. Thanks much!

Another vt220/Ultrix question: 

It seems as though Ultrix wants to speak 7-bit Even-parity. This is just
fine and dandy--I set my vt220 up as 7E. However, whenever I need to get
to the VAX monitor (MicroVAX-II) level, the vax wants 8 bit No-parity. So
I have to reset the vt200, start the reboot, and switch the terminal back
to 7 bit Even. Anybody have any ideas how i can avoid this constant parity
switching?

thanks
