I have been trying to use the Annex ports in slave mode, using rtelnet and getty on our MIPS machine to simulate a normal unix login. However, there are two major problems: 1) The Annex pays no attention to DCD if dropped by the modem, nor does it lower DTR if the user signs off. 2) Parity is messed up, in both slave and CLI modes. This is especially strange, since I can talk to CLI, and then telnet to any machine other than a MIPS, and it works fine. Does anybody else use an Annex with a MIPS? I think I have tried every reasonable permutation of options on the Annex, our modems, and in /etc/gettydefs. Details: Annex II, software R5.0.3 (I think) MIPS M/2000, RISC/os 4.50

It worked under 4.20, but broke under 4.50. I put in a service call. I think there's a bug. I don't know about the CLI problem - we just rlogin/telnet to the mips from the annex, but it may also be related. You might want to call the hotline as well. I only put it in last week, perhaps if there's enough interest we'll see results faster. -- Dave Goldberg UNIX Systems Programmer/Administrator The Mitre Corporation MS B020 Bedford, MA 01730 617-271-2460 Domain: dsg@mbunix.mitre.org UUCP: linus!mbunix!dsg
