I inherited an ADM12+ serial terminal, and seem to be having some difficulties getting it to run correctly on my 2.1.0-RELEASE system. I have enabled ttyd1 (com2) (as std.2400) and set tem type to "adm12" in /etc/ttys. What happens, is I get the Banner message and login prompt displayed correctly, but when I type my username, characters get double imaged on the terminal. If I ignore this, and login as a user with no password, it gets all the bay to a shell prompt. At this point if I type any command and press enter, the terminal hangs. Nothing else displays until I kill the process and getty prompts for login again. Now if I login to an account with a password the terminal hangs immediately after pressing enter after the password. After a few minutes, login reports that it timed out, and I'm back to a login prompt. My (uneducated) observations. 1: I need to turn an "echo" setting off somewhere but I have no idea where. 2: getty recognizes the terminal, but as soon as any other process is called, something goes sour. Are these assumptions correct, and if so, how do I go about fixing this? Also: If anyone has any information on programing the Function keys on the adm12 terminal, I'd like to know how. Several of the keys have usless (to me) text strings bound to them like "GO DOS", "GO LOGON", etc... Thanks! Please respond via email, as I can't follow freebsd-questions due to volume... ------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
