Let me preface this posting by saying that I am completely green
as far as apollo goes much less the wonderful world of Aegis. "Prove it,"
you say. Ok....
I have an Apollo 3550 which we are running in the BSD environment.
I am trying to use a vt100 window with tip as a terminal emulator to talk
to our Vax 11/785 through the serial port. In order to accomplish this
task the port must be configured for 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
Prior to envoking tip I used the Aegis command tctl to check the
current port settings and I find that they are just how I would like them
to be. After envoking tip, however, the parity has changed from none
to even. I attempt to use a ~s command in tip to set parity=none to no
avail. When I show all the tip settings using ~s they indicate that parity
is set to none. Using tctl however shows that the parity is still even.
If, after starting tip, I use the Aegis command tctl -parity none all works
well. Why is it that I am not able to change the port characteristics
using tip????
I should add that I am using /dev/sio0 for the tip device. I tried
/dev/tty01 as well with the same results. Any help/advice that can be
offered will be *greatly* appreciated.
Much Thanks--

PS: Please don't flame me with RTFM as the machines were delivered *without*
a manual set :-( :-(
