I've been having difficulty with Oliver's Screen program ever
since I installed Ultrix 3.0 .
If I start up a tip(1) process (I even tried it with tip from Ultrix
2.2 under Ultrix 3.0) in one of the screens, a large percentage of the
charectors sent to the screen don't get displayed.
Example:
$ tip prls
(connected to /dev/tty18)
<cr> /* from my keyboard, responce: */
UltirxV.0-(r1
loi: oro /* login:gordon */
Pwor: /* Passwd: */
tloi:M50::9ott0
UltrixV.0-Ste5:St30::5PS9
and so it goes. Seem that everything I type is understood at the prls end.
Misc other facts: Vax 11/750 dmf32 port to VAX 11/780 dmf32 port. Both
machines run Ultrix. Screen and tip have always worked together fine
in the past (prior to Ultrix 3.0 installation on the 11/750).
Thank-you for any assistance

Somebody is checking parity on input and discarding characters with "bad" parity. I switched over to Ultrix 3.0 last nite and have already had some complaints about kermit/xmodem/ymodem being broken, though uucp seems to be working just fine. One might suspect that something has been "improved" in "raw" or "cbreak" mode input processing. Did you get to the bottom of this?

I used kermit for file transfer between xenix/ultrix with direct connections.
