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...
