I've got an XT that I'd like to use as a terminal for my
386. I'm running Windows 3.0 on the 386 and was planning to
use a DOS window with CTTY AUX.
How do I use the CTTY command? I have a null modem cable
connected between the two computers. I typed CTTY AUX on the
386 and fired up kermit on the XT, but nothing happens. I tried
using several baud rates, but none worked.
Has anybody out there successfully used CTTY? Can I really
do this in Windows without running into any problems?

I had to jumper pins 4&5 and 6&20 together on the cable in order to get DOS to want to talk. I now use the terminal in my TV room for movietime computing and it works at 9600 baud. In addition to jumping those pins, I use the command mode com1:9600,e,7,1 before issuing the ctty aux command. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Tom Hite | The views expressed by me | |Manager, Product development | are mine, not necessarily | |CADSI (Computer Aided Design Software Inc. | the views of CADSI. | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
