[comp.sys.apollo] SR10.1 BSD4.3 terminal support

rgs@cipher.UUCP (Bob Schultz) (02/14/90)

We have a bunch of Wyse 50 terminals that were purchased
for our BSD4.3 VAX.  I'd like to connect one directly to
Apollo (rather than rlogin from the VAX), but am unable
to get the "Back Space" and "Del" keys to work.  I'm
using the same terminal on both machines and have even
tried the VAX termcap entry on Apollo with no success.
Any ideas?


The "yh" termcap entry on both machines is the same:

w1|wy|wy50:\
	:tc=w50:
ye|w50|wyse50|Wyse 50:\
	:al=\EE:am:bs:bt=\EI:cd=\EY:ce=\ET:cl=^Z:cm=\E=%+ %+ :co#80:\
	:dc=\EW:dl=\ER:do=^J:ei=\Er:im=\Eq:is=\E`\072\200\EC\EDF\E0\E'\E(\EA21:\
	:kd=^J:kl=^H:kr=^L:ku=^K:li#24:nd=^L:up=^K:us=\EG8:ue=\EG0:\
	:so=\EG4:se=\EG0:sg#1:sr=\Ej:ho=^^:ug#1:
# it is not known if the status line works with sysline
yh|w50-s|wyse50-s|Wyse 50 for sysline:\
	:hs:ts=\Ef:fs=\r:ds=\Ef\r:es:so=\EGp:tc=w50:


"stty everything" on both machines gives the same options:

new tty, speed 2400 baud, 24 rows, 80 columns
even odd -raw -nl echo -lcase -tandem -tabs -cbreak
crt: (crtbs crterase crtkill ctlecho) -tostop
-tilde -flusho -mdmbuf -litout -pass8 -nohang
-pendin -decctlq -noflsh
erase  kill   werase rprnt  flush  lnext  susp   intr   quit   stop   eof
^H     ^?     ^W     ^R     ^O     ^V     ^Z/^Y  ^C     ^\     ^S/^Q  ^D


The entry in /etc/ttys on Apollo is:

sio1 	 "/etc/getty std.2400"   yh       on

I had a similar problem, except my terminal was a vt100 style. 
I issued a tctl -default -speed <whatever> -cvt_nl
and everything worked OK after that.

BTW: This was at SR10.1.
