I've been experiencing a problem with the desktop VT52 emulator on a fairly regular basis, and I'm wondering if I'm the only one. What happens is this: some noise comes over the phone line (like when it hangs up on the other end), and suddenly the terminal emulator goes dead. Nothing shows up on the screen, nothing goes out the RS232 port. Going back to the desktop and then back into the terminal emulator doesn't do a thing to unwedge it; you have to hit the reset button. My modem (a Signalman) is admittedly not the most reliable piece of equipment in the world, but I've never had similar problems using it with my Heathkit terminal. Does this sound familiar to anybody? Is there some less catastrophic way to unwedge things? -Sandra (utah-cs!sandra, loosemore@utah-20, decwrl!esunix!loosemor)
