Hello Net,


My Blit (actually a DMD-5620) terminal works just fine when connected
to one of the DMF-32 ports of our Vax-11/750 running 4.3BSD Unix.
However, when connected to one of the DHU-11 ports of a MicroVax-II,
also running 4.3BSD, it works in boring "normal terminal" mode but the
``layers'' program does not work at all.

The symptoms are as follows when layers is started up : I can create
windows as usual but the entire program hangs after one line of input
is typed to a shell.

Has anyone seen such behaviour before or anything similar ?  I am
baffled that the same binary code works properly on one 4.3 system (the
Vax-11/750) but not the other 4.3 system (MicroVax-II). Is this
anything to do with hardware or what ? Does the DHU-11 behave in some
mysteriously different way to the DMF-32 ?

Any pointers or advice would be received most gratefully.

Cheers,
	- Robert.
