Hi,

I have recently acquired a Cybernex terminal, alas without
any manuals. It has keys for almost everything, but there is
no SETUP key that I can find! And no, there are no DIP switches
on the PCB...

If you know what magic sequence of keys to press to get the
terminal into a configure mode to set the baud rate, display
features etc. would you please let me know.



I'd also welcome any information about what escape sequences
it uses for screen control. I guess it must emulate something
more common. It has 4 screen pages, and some unusual (to me)
xmit and specify keys. A termcap entry would be a bonus!

It has 3 serial ports - 1 printer, and 2 others. Does this mean
it can communicate with 2 hosts?

Details:  Cybernex model RB-1210  made in Ottawa Canada Feb 1988.

Thanks

Nicholas.
