Set your terminal emulator to ignore/strip 8-bit characters. This shift into extended characters happens quite a bit on SunOS4. I could speculate, but I'd probably miss it just enough to bring the wrath of the gawds down on my head. I am currently dealing with an old Sparc2 via serial console, and it exhibits this problem. I just set the appropriate resources for my sterm, and voila! Another approach is to use kermit as your emulator. I believe its default is to strip the meta bits. Best of luck with the machine. I have a network of 4 S10s, and they are true workhorses. -sam
