I resently got a VT1000 and would like to write a Fortran program which will be able to send and receive data from the RS232 port. This is on a VMS system. How do I configure the port to allow this? How would I access it from the Fortran Program, i.e. What should the name be that I open? Thanks Tom Niermann niermann@crhc.uiuc.edu or niermann@csg.uiuc.edu

Are you asking whether the serial port on the VT1000 can be addressed as a device on the VAX? No. The serial port on the VT1000 corresponds to a special VT320 emulator in the VT1000 ("Create session on Host port"). There is no name as such. It is simply a software construct that behaves like a Vt320 out of the RS232 port. The "Create LAT session" menu entry uses the "virtual DECserver" in your terminal to create a perfectly normal LTAxxx: terminal session. It just happens to be much *slower* than a VT320 :-( Wayne.
