[comp.unix.ultrix] DECstation 3100 woes

maoursler@miavx2.ham.muohio.edu (10/17/90)

Hullo,

	I hope someone can help.  We have a DECstation 3100.  I am trying
	to connect an LA100 to the printer port on the back of the console.
	No luck.  I get nothing.  My site specific reference guide is
	missing, and I am unaware of what port to configure.  In addition,
	at one point I had plugged a terminal in the serial port of the console
	and logged in no problem, now however, I get nothing.  I've checked all
	my communication settings, no go.  What is going on?   Our DECstation
	did mysteriously 'die' a few weeks ago.  Wouldn't power up at all.  Next
	day, it was alive again.  We were so overjoyed, we looked no further
	and figured the computer gods took pity on us.  So now, here I am
	with no printer, no terminal, and a bunch of angry users.  Anyone
	out there with Ultrix know-how who knows where I went wrong and
	can explain things to a VMS person is welcome.  Thanks in advance.
