It seems that my VMZ-32 is working just fine for logged in terminals
but fails when used as a line printer port or as a 'tip' connection.
As a line-printer port a series of rapid ^S/^Q makes the output
go away. I.e. not just stop but get thrown out altogether.
As a tip port it simply refused to send characters out from the
vax. This one was some sort of hardware problem (ground loop?) because
it indeed runs to a neighboring vax and with a different cable now runs
to the machine in question (an exormacs).
Needless to say we are now using our dz or dh lines for lp's and
tip lines. I would be interested to hear from others with these problems
and I will let this forum know of any other details as they become available.
