I want to use vt100 and emt to log into a vax, and other machines. When
I do, I can't for the life of me get linefeeds converted into CRLF's.
Here's how I thought it should work:
$ vt100
(in vt100 window...)
$ vctl -cvt_in_nl
$ emt
emt> raw
emt> asc
emt> tctl -cvtraw_nl
emt> f1
Emt remote mode... F1 to exit
(on the vax...)
$ mail
MAIL> <return>
MAIL> <etc, etc, etc...>
I've tried every combination of vctl and tctl conversions, and I tried
changing the OUTTERM termination character (which doen't matter, because
I need to conver the input LF to a CRLF, not the output).
It seems to me the none of the -cvt_in_nl and -cvtraw_nl commands have
any effect whatsoever. This is at sr9.7.0.4
Anyone? Thanks a million.

Thanks a million. > Scott Ferguson > ferguson@erevax.bitnet > Exxon Research & Engineering Scott, I use a file containing the following emt commands: break 400 interm vax tctl -noecho asc raw f1 This lets me get into systems with the command 'emt vax'. I also maintain an open window to a Vax, and get to it via my alias: alias vax 'date;set term=vt132;stty erase ^H;/bin/time vt100 telnet mutx01;date' where mutx01 is an Ultrix node hanging between Mt. Olympus (the Apollo network) and the VAX running VMS Both methods work for me, but I'm sure you'll have to experiment. Hope this helps a bit. -- ___________________ Darryl C.

I also had problems logging into a vax from 9.7 vt100 and doing a dir or anything that generated a long list on the console... the apollo would lose data, not responding in time to the XOFF and overrunning the buffer. All this seems to have cleared up when I upgraded to 10.1. WHo knows what really is going on? -- ...Richard Friedman rchrd@well.uucp (Pacific-Sierra Research/Berkeley, CA.) also: {lll-crg,pacbell,hplabs}!well!rchrd

At sr9.x, when using EMT with VT100 to use screen editors on a remote host, invoke Vt100 first, then invoke EMT within Vt100, and use EMT options: raw tctl noecho interm lf The "magic" one is the "interm lf". It prevents emt from eating up the "CR"s and turning them into "NL" characters. Vt100 needs to see the raw "CR"s to do its thing correctly. The problem with the emt input buffer overflowing seems to be some kind of timing related problem with the Apollo serial line input handler. Even with Xon/Xoff flow control enabled, if data comes in at 9600 or faster, in continuous chunks larger than 256 characters, the input buffer overflows. If you set the speed to 4800 baud, there is no overflow problem. The strange thing is that the serial line handler that came with the SPE board seems to do a better job. It will do Xon/Xoff flow control at 9600 baud with no overflow problems, it will choke at 19200 though. This is the case at sr9.7, I've not checked it out at sr10.1. Dave Funk
