I am trying to connect a Letterwriter 100 to the printer port on the back of a DS3100, with no success I might add. My questions are: 1) We have connected to tty01 port on the back, is this correct? 2) What is the correct DECconnect adapter to use H-8571-? I am using an H-8571-A. 3) Are there any special considerations for this type of printer? a) I have the getty set at "std.9600" dw2 (Decwriter II). b) The printer is set at 9600 baud, 7/Space. 4) I can login to the system from the printer as a hardcopy unit with no problem. 5) When I try "cat /xxx/xxx > /dev/tty01", I do not get a standard output, is becomes stairstep. (it also fills the buffer and craps out) I would appreciate any help possible, email would be sufficient. I will post results and configuration when successful... -- +---------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ | Dave Wright | Phone: (714) 952-6320 | | McDonnell Douglas M&E | Internet: wright@tacvax.mdcbbs.com | | Software Engineering | UUCP: uunet!tacvax.mdcbbs.com!wright | | P.O.Box 6011 | PSI: PSI%31060099980019::WRIGHT | | Cypress, Ca. 90630 | | +---------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
