Hello all,

   I am trying to get a 5000/240 ultrix box up and running.  
Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Digital monitor right now.  The 
only monitor I have with bnc input is a sony 19" monitor GDM-1950, and it 
has 5bnc inputs, vs the 5000's 3bnc connector.  This monitor is 
fixed-frequency 1024x768 @ 75hz.  The video card in the 5000 is a 
PMAGB-B, which I believe to be 1024x768, though I don't know the 
frequency.  Is there a way I can get this monitor to work with this 
decstation?  I had believed that a 5bnc monitor could be run with a 3bnc 
cable, but I'm not sure how.  
   I've heard that with an alphastation, at the >>> prompt you can set 
tga_sync_green to be 1, and send the sync on green signal to enable using 
a 5bnc monitor with the 3bnc connector.  Can you do the same thing with 
the ultrix machine?  Is so, what would the exact command to type at the 
>>>, please, as I'd be typing it in blind and praying that it works.  Any help 
is *greatly* appreciated.  Thanks.
