Message-ID: <614@hslrswi.UUCP> Date: Mon, 6-Jul-87 09:58:36 EDT Article-I.D.: hslrswi.614 Posted: Mon Jul 6 09:58:36 1987 Date-Received: Sat, 11-Jul-87 01:30:12 EDT Organization: Hasler AG, CH-3000 Berne 14, Switzerland Lines: 34 Keywords: Blit DMD 5620 MicroVax-II DHU-11 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.
