I am experiencing a problem no one up here has been able to sort out. One of our terminal emulators (nitro, from tripos associates) requires the use of 2 serial ports. One for the rs232 communication line and the other for a mouse that controls the program once the connection is established. The mouse is connected to com1 and the com. line to com2. Loggin into our sybyl server (sybyl is the name of a Evans & Sutherland graphic workstation program) is no problem. I can get downloaded menus to work fine with the mouse. But when attempting to access menus spesifical to nitro the machine hangs, resets or locks completely. I've tried to implement XonXoff to the line without this helping in any way what so ever. Someone suggested the possiblity of something being setup wrong in the NIU. I've heard of similar problems with other programs. Can someone try to explain what is happening, eventually how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance. ************************************************************************ **** * RODRIGO LOPEZ SERRANO Biotechnology Centre of Oslo * * Tel: xx-02-958766 Gaustadalleen 21 * * Fax: xx-02-694130 P.B. 1125 Blindern * * rodrigo.lopez@use.uio.no 0316 Oslo 3 Norway * * rodrigo.lopez%use.uio.uninett@nac.no * * rodrigol@ulrik.uio.no * ************************************************************************ ****
