Dear info-encore people,
We recently configured an Annex II to boot off of a Sun 3/60. When we
configured it with the switch in the back in the diagnostic position,
all worked fine. We set the internet address, plugged onto ethernet, and
it booted fine.
Now I'm trying to use the server from a DEC VT-320. I have problems when I
type the following keys:
Key typed character displayed
------------------------- -----------------------
zero (0) eight (8)
lowercase p lowercase x
uppercase P uppercase X
ctrl P (^P) uppercase X
space bar eight (8)
at sign (@) lowercase x
tick (`) lowercase x
I've tried all the permutations of bits/char, parity, and stop bits, and
nothing seems to solve the problem.
Typing stty at the 'annex:' prompt gives the following:
Annex port 1:
-newlin echo -ilower -olower crtcera crtlera tabs -leap
cera lera wera ldisp flush tesc
[^?] [^U] [^W] [^R] [^O] [^]]
prompt: annex:%s
break lbreak -ixany broadcast
iflow: bell, oflow: xonoff, isize: 1, timer: -
ostopc ostartc
[^S] [^Q]
baud: 9600, bchar: 8, stopb: 1, parity: none
-imask7
control_lines: none
When the VT320 is set to 8 bits, No parity, 1 stop bit, all works well
except for the characters above. The keys seem to work in the DIAGNOSTIC
MODE, so I don't think it's a problem with the connection. The terminal
works on other lines ok, so it's not the Keyboard.
The main drawback to all of this is that I cannot change any settings on
the annex with stty because the space character translates to an eight (8)
and I cannot delimit parameters.
Anyone got any suggestions?
