[comp.sys.handhelds] How to connect HP48 to VAX/VMS?

ASTA@DULRUU51.BITNET (Allgemeiner Studentenausschuss Universitaet Ulm) (10/10/90)

Hello VMS & 48 users,
 
 
I'm having trouble to connect my 48 to my VAX with Kermit. Neither sending
nor receiving is possible. The 2 computers just ignore themselves, though
I can use them both with an IBM PC.
 
Any hints?
 
The 48-I/O setup is:
 
wire / ASCII / 9600 / parity 4 spc / checksum 1 / translation 3
 
 
 
VMS Kermit-32 version 3.3.117

(I also tried it with parity none)
