             We are trying to operate a hp 7585B plotter directly
        connected to a VAX running VMS 4.6, but are having nothing but
        problems.  The plotter goes wild at certain points in the test
        plot file that indicate something about the buffers filling up.
        We have tried changing buffer sizes using hp control language
        with little success and now think that the plotter and the VAX do
        not handshake properly.  As a last resort, we will connect the
        two through a data kit system that will provide for buffering;
        however, this is not my idea of the most effective or efficient
        way to interconnect the two.
             I hope someone is doing or has done something similar and
        can offer some advice.  This problem is beginning to make a good
        number of people restless, myself included.
             Thanks.
