I'm having problems using the "tip" modem program with an Everex
EMAC-MD2400 modem under SunOS 4.1.
Using the defaults I have set up for /etc/remote works for most
things I connect to. When I try to call the library it
don't work, however, so I have altered the defaults for that
destination.
The problem now is that characters I type appear as accented
characters. Characters that my destination host types appear
correctly. Characters that I type are interpreted by the host
correctly. It's just that the characters I type do not appear
on my screen properly. So I type "help", and it appears to me
to read "(e-accent-grave)-e-l-(funny-character)", but the host
correctly puts me into the help program.
Can anyone suggest what I need to do to correct this? Changing
the parity (the pa variable in /etc/remote) makes it so it
either doesn't work at all, or once I'm logged into the
library it apparently puts a linefeed after each character
I enter so I can't type any commands. The relevant portion of
/etc/remote reads:
equinox|Equinox Data Switch:\
:pn=6848552:tc=UNIX-2400:
library:\
:pa=even:hd:tc=equinox:
UNIX-2400:\
:el=^D^U^C^S^Q^O@:du:at=hayes:ie=#$%:oe=^D:br#2400:tc=dialers:
dialers:\
:dv=/dev/cua0:\
I invoke the program with "tip library". That connects me to the
Equinox data switcher, where I type "library" to connect to the
library. The characters appear as combinations of characters as
shown here (characters that appear normal I have left blank):
Upper Prints Lower Prints
case: as: case: as:
A a a'
B b a^
C A~ c
D d a"
E Ao e
F AE f
G g c,
H h e`
I E' i
J E^ j
K k e"
L I` l
M m i'
N n i^
O I" o
P p (something really funny-looking)
Q N~ q
R O` r
S s o'
T O^ t
U u o~
V v o"
W x w
X O/ x
Y y u`
Z z u'
Thanks for anything you can do to help make this work!
