I am converting an old SCO system to FreeBSD and the database they are running is an old SCO 3.2 binary. The digiboard PC/xe board seems to work with vi and mutt fine but when there t comes time for the opening screen on this database program (I guess there is a burst of a lot of characters at one time) the terminal hangs. It makes no difference what type of terminal I use, or the emulation. This digiboard problem does not occur in SCO under the old 3.2 system. I just wonder if anyone knows if this type of thing can be helped by adjusting one of the many parameters that are changable with stty. I get the feeling it's a timing thing. All the terminals are just 3 wires. I wonder if that could be another problem, as I am guessing that the other wires would provide flow control, and in their absence, I would be depending I think, only on xon/xoff. I changed the speed of one terminal from 38600 to 9600 with no success. When I installed the digiboard I got the opening messages; dgb0: PC /Xe 64 K dgb0: at port 0x320-0x323 iomem 0xd0000-0xdffff on isa0 dgb0: 8 ports dgb0: driver is using old-style compatibility shims _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
