I have a couple of questions about using minix over a serial line: Following is a termcap hacked up for use with a vt100 emulator. Can anyone tell me if it is correct or can be improved? vt100|vt-100|dec vt100:\ :co#80:\ :li#24:\ :cl=50\E[;H\E[2J:\ :bs:\ :cm=\E[%i%d;%dH:\ :nd=2\E[C:\ :up=2\E[A:\ :ce=3\E[K:\ :cd=50\E[J:\ :so=\E[7m:\ :se=\E[m:\ :us=2\E[4m:\ :ue=2\E[m:\ :is=\E>E[?31\E[?41\E[?51\E[?7h\E?[8h:\ :ks=\E[?1h\E=:ke=\E[?11\E>:\ :if=/usr/lib/tabset/vt100:\ :ku=\EOA:\ :kd=\EOB:\ :kr=\EOC:\ :kl=\EOD:\ :kh=\E[H:\ :k1=\EOP:\ :k2=\EOQ:\ :k3=\EOR:\ :k4=\EOS:\ :pt:\ :sr=5\EM:\ :al=\E[L:\ :dl=\E[M: I am using a macintosh running White Knight in vt100 mode. Most things work as expected except the editors (mined/vi ect) don't behave correctly. I lose lines, can't scoll backwards to the top line etc. Does anyone know how vt100 compliant white knight is? What is the best vt100 emulation for the macintosh? Thanks pdp@ariel.ucs.unimelb.EDU.AU .

I lose lines, can't scoll backwards to the top line etc. The Minix termcap routines (specifically tputs() do not support null-padded terminals, such as the vt100. I have a termcap library that does, I am going to try porting it to Minix as soon as I resurrect my system from toast (it took a power hit, the motherboard and hard disks went to protect the power supply and the fuse in the surge protector... :-( ). -- Thomas V.

Can someone tell me how to hook a terminal off the serial port? I've added "1f2" to my /etc/ttys and have MacMinix 1.5 (straight out of box). When I boot I get a login prompt on the terminal. If I hit return, another login prompt appears, but if I type in my login and hit return it hangs. wing wing@sco.com
