| The only thing that could be biting you hear is LTA device mapped to
the the server port is set to NOEIGHTBIT. Use LATCP to figure out what
ports are mapped to where and then find the server/port number of the
node in question via the PCM config editor and map that to the LTA
device that LATCP says is mapped to that port and do a SHOW TERMINAL
against it.

| Re: .1
Danm, thanks for that suggestion.. I haven't looked at that yet, but
just need to ask.. since PCM creates the LAT application ports itself
now, we'd have to set the EIGHTBIT bit in the system parameter
TTY_DEFCHAR, right ?
John.

It's not so much that it creates the lat ports themselves but rather
that it does a IO$_SETMODE qio to change the volatile settings. I can't
remember if the line is set to Noeightbit or not by the QIO. If it is,
changing the TTY_DEFCHAR param will have no effect. I'll have to look
at the code and see what it does.
REgs,
Dan

853.4 | set term/noeightbit | 29067::BUCKLEY | ski fast,take chances,die young | Mon Jan 08 1996 14:18 | 2 |
| I talked with Dan and he said that a check in login.com to see if they were
logged into OPA0: with a set term/noeightbit if they are should fix the problem.

853.5 | Serial ECU ? | 42798::ROWELL | Paul Rowell @BBP - TMC UK | Tue Jan 09 1996 04:12 | 4 |
| I guess this will also prevent people from running the ECU for 2100's
etc as this requires eight-bit mode?

853.6 | TTY_DEFCHAR=402690720 | 19584::JFRAZIER | What color is a chameleon on a mirror? | Tue Jan 09 1996 12:31 | 24 |
| What I did was add this line to sys$system:modparams.dat on the system running
PCM
TTY_DEFCHAR=402690720
Now as to why...
In sys$library:ttdef.h is the line
#define TT$M_EIGHTBIT 32768
and in sysgen, the default value for TTY_DEFCHAR is 402657952,
so 402657952+32768 = 402690720.
Now I can use TPU in the C3 DECterm windows...
Enjoy

853.7 | And on Unix? | 42798::ROWELL | Paul Rowell @BBP - TMC UK | Wed Jan 10 1996 07:35 | 5 |
| .-1 also allows ECU and srlmgr to run on PCM - Well done!
How would you effect the same fix on Unix?

853.8 | Not Srlmgr | 42798::ROWELL | Paul Rowell @BBP - TMC UK | Wed Jan 10 1996 09:32 | 5 |
| Spoke too soon the srlmgr (SWXCR serial utility) doesn't seem to
recognise the cursor keys. I would be interested if anyone has got this
to work.
