Hi -
I am the proud owner of a WYSE wy60 terminal, and am using the terminfo
entry posted here recently. I am now having a problem with my terminal
when it is connected to certain systems...it is using the alternate
character set!
Specifically, with the terminal personality (setup window #2) defined as
WY-60, I can't read anything. The login: prompt appears as garbage [yes,
the baud rate is correct]. Now, without breaking the connection to the
computer, I change the personality to WY-50+... bingo! everything is again
readable.
One other thing: This is one of the newer WY60 terminals that can simulate
a VT52 and a VT100. My older WY60 worked just fine.
Any help will be welcome...please!

Many Wyse terminals have problems when the parity bit isn't 0. I have had problems with both the wyse-85 and wyse-99 in this respect. Wyse has a menu item that give you a choice of no-parity/odd/even/mark/space parity. As far as I could tell, this menu item didn't do anything for *recieved* parity in some emulation modes. We were unable to get these terminals working with BSD systems. The wyse-75, on the other hand, does a reasonable job as a vt-100 clone.
