Hello! I am trying to run a dumb terminal off of my Amiga 1000 serial port using the "NEWSHELL AUX:" command (after mounting the standard AUX: device). I hooked up my terminal and it worked! I just happened to set the terminal to the correct parameters (9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity). There was no indication in the AmigaDos 1.3 supplements to indicate that this was the set up. I was wondering: [1] Is there any way to adjust the serial parameters (ie: higher baud rate, parity changes, etc)? I am assuming not. [2] I tried running Manx's VI-like editor Z and got a software error: I am assuming that Z wont work properly from an AUX: terminal. Does anyone know of a decent editor that will work under such a set up? (mail me the source code for any suitable PD editors and I will be eternally grateful). [3] Are there any alternate PD device handlers I could mount and use to replace AUX: that would handle a terminal as I want? (Again, if you mailed me the source code...) In case you're wondering, my primary interest in this set up is to have a decent terminal for text editing work (my Amiga monitor leaves a little to be desired in that area). Please email your responses to me at the address below and thanks in advance. **********************COLIN CHISHOLM************************** * Communications Division, Motorola Canada Ltd., Toronto * * UUCP: uunet!utai!lsuc!motto!colin * **************************************************************
