ESC1298@ESOC.BITNET (Danielle Heinzer) (01/16/89)
Hi,
I would like to have a hardcopy of the system console (either the window
system console, and the monitor when not in window mode). And this for any
window system (SunView, NeWS, X-Windows).
I have tried to connect a VT100 terminal on one serial port of my Sun3/50,
on which I can plug a hardcopy printer.
I have set the PROM Console I/O to this serial port, and then the boot
procedure outputs appear on the terminal.
But I can no longer login on the Sun monitor !!! And so cannot use the
window system.
I have contacted Hotline Germany, and the guy told me: "It is impossible
to have a deported console and the monitor active simultaneously".
Is it true? How do you manage with operationnel Suns ?
You can send me mail directly to esc1298@esoc.bitnet, I will then send a
summary to the group.
