I am trying to connect to my university UNIX system via a terminal set
to 1 stop-bit, even parity, and character size of 7.
The modem connects fine, and I have no problems unil I login. Afterwards,
the system doesn't seem to accept certain standard characters ('d' for
example). It does except certain others (such as 't').
I have tried playing around with 'stty', but nothing seems to help.
Please, please, please, please, please help,
Sergey Goldgaber

I don't know if this is the same problem, but I used to log into an IBM system a while back through a series/1 front end. At first it would only accept some characters - this happened before I selected my terminal type: Vt100 came out as t100 (the v didn't come through). To make a long story short, I solved the problem by coming in with even parity instead of no parity. Maybe you have the reverse problem. Try dialing in with no parity and 8 bits, or even odd or space parity. Also play with the stop bits. They might be set to some silly number like 2 for some reason. These are all functions of the way the line is set up - they could be just about anything - depends on the mood of the installer. Hope this helps. scott -- Scott J.M.
