Well, we recently acquired a DECwriter III, with the intention of making
it "the console" for our Sun 4/110.  (Hardcopy is still best for some
things).

Problem is, we haven't a manual.

It's working, it selftests, and local echo typing also works...but I
can't get it to send to or receive from the Sun.

Yes, I kill -1 1'ed after adding /dev/ttya to the ttytab file, and I
used the "Console-1200" entry (which was listed as a "DECWriter III" in
gettytab), and it just plain doesn't work.

I think the problem is with the "Modem/Protocol" and "Parity/Data bits"
settings on the DEC, but with no manual, I can't tell what to set them
to.

Help, please?  Can anyone mail me what the settings are, or something?
