Help We have installed at our site a number of LINK MC-10 terminals which we are trying to run at 38400. This seems to be a pointless exercise as no matter what type of flow control we try we get garbaged screens when we try to send lots of data to the screen. Has anyone out there had success or lack there of with these terminals? The support person I've been talking to at LINK says that he has heard no complaints but I know that I've seen at least one negative comment in this news group in recent weeks. Any comments about these terminals would be appreciated Geoff Coleman Unexsys Systems geoff@edm.uucp or alberta!edm!geoff

Well I talked with Link last week, and have new ROMS for the MC-5's and they
said there will be a new rom for the MC-10 in a few weeks, and they will ship
that to me when it is available. If there were no problems, (ha!), why the
new ROMS?
(I beleive I was the complainant).
Will keep the net posted on what I find.

I am using an MC5 with ISC202, at 38400. No problems. I am running this terminal off of a computone Inteliport board. It is configured to use software (xon/xoff) handshaking. As a test of the handshaking I tried out WordPerfects line draw across page boundaries, which will break a Televideo 965, and no screen distortion at all. I have a question tho, has any one got the parallel port to work? We have had no luck at all. Thanks Tim Brown | Computer Connection | (attmail or uunet)!comcon!tim |

We >have had no luck at all. > The MC-5 had a bug introduced in the firmware, I believe at release 2.03 that caused the printer output to be fired back down the regular serial port rather than to the parallel printer port when in vt220 emulations. It would print OK in wyse60. The best bet is to get firmware updates from Link (current version is 2.05 or 2.06 may be out to the public now). To chech your firmware press ctrl and shift simultaneously and it will appear on the status line. -- ....microsoft--\ Bill Campbell; Celestial Software ...uw-beaver-----!thebes!camco!bill 6641 East Mercer Way ....fluke------/ Mercer Island, Wa 98040 ....hplsla----/ (206) 232-4164
