I am running UNIX HOUSE sysv5 rel 4 on one of there 486 boxes. Yesterday, I installed a second serial card in the machine by manually adding it to into the system. After struggling with the sacadm, pmadm and ttyadm I finally got the (insert your favorite explicitive here) card to respond. However, I seemed to have run into a small, but annoying problem. The ttymon seems to recognize that someone is trying to log into the system, but it responds to the login request really slow. It seems to be printing the welcome message one character at a time with a long pause in between characters. As a result it seems that the whole login process times out as a result. Does anybody have any idea what is happening here? It looks like I have the baud rate set up correctly. The only thing I can think of is that I have the serial card configured as IRQ 5 (this is because Unix House ethernet driver won't install as anything other then IRQ3) and that is somehow causing the problem. Thanks in advance Paul Puglia Dept of Civil Engineering Columbia University

On that system the characters were being presented at about 1 character per second. That, I thought, was a bit slow for a 9600 bps link :-) Can you borrow another serial board to try? -- Bill Vermillion - UUCP: uunet!tarpit!bilver!bill : bill@bilver.UUCP
