HELP! I'm trying to get some old Fortune Systems (FIS1000) terminals
to work on SCO Unix 3.2.2.  I can write the termcap entry but so far
I've been unable to cat to the terminal using XON/XOFF or DTE wireing.
There are Baud, Stop, and Parity switches on the terminals but I have
no other documentation on the hardware.
Does anyone know if these terminals follow RS232, or am I wasting my
time?
Thanks in advance - tangent!root@netcom.com (jeff Saxton)
