I am attempting to get a terminal going on a sio port on a DN3500 running SR10.1. I have two problems: 1) I can't get the terminal to talk at any faster than 1200bd. 2) When I try to use vi, the system responds with "I don't know enough about your terminal" & sends a bunch of escape sequences to the screen, then proceeds to log me out. The terminal is a Kemtron KT-7 & it does ansi. I have also used XTALK on a PC with the same results for both ansi & vt100. XTALK works fine with a dialup UNIX system I have an account on. TERM is set in /etc/ttys for the sio port. I have also set the TERM variable from the shell with the same results... What am I missing?? Wishing SR10.1 was *real* UNIX..... -- Marty Wiedmeyer mort@dhump.lakesys.COM

Have you tried using the Aegis TCTL command (TCTL -line # -speed <baud>) to
set the speed? Yes, this isn't UNIX, but at least see if your SIO port is
working. Also, have you determined if your terminal needs flow control
(XON/XOFF)? You might want to set (Aegis, again) -INSYNC and -HOSTSYNC using
the aforementioned TCTL command.
Finally, are you using the 1-to-3 converter cable to separate the three SIO
ports from the single DB-25 connector? Perhaps you are referring to the wrong
SIO port in your Unix stuff.
Anyway, who offers *real* UNIX, and what IS *real* Unix???!?

That's strange. I haven't had any problems getting my ports to run up to 9600 baud.

Sounds like your using Sys5 vi. There are some really big problems here. BSD vi works fine. There are a host of improvements in vt100 emulation/vi in SR10.2 (due out any time now, I'm told). >-- > > Marty Wiedmeyer > mort@dhump.lakesys.COM +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Peter Craine + You Klingon son, you killed my bastard Hewlett-Packard + Chelsmford Response Center + *I* don't want my opinions.
