    We've recently acquired AS4100s based DUnix TruClusters with only
    character cell console terminals (no graphics heads).  Found that we
    had to run SWXCRMGR from floppy and had a heck of time with the utility
    because it was slow, but worse, the output from the SWXCRMGR utility
    was barely readable!  Many bogus or 'substitute' characters are printed
    in the process.  Also, appears there are many substitute commands
    required when using a character cell terminal (i.e. Cntrl B = F2, etc).
    
    I want to believe that some of what we saw was because of incompatible
    terminal settings. 
    
    Does anyone know where this stuff is well documented? 
    
    thanx

6707.1Try using SRLMGRSEDSWS::SIAREYThu May 22 1997 04:348
    If you are using a character cell terminal then you should use the
    serial line version on SWXCRMGR ---> SRLMGR.
    
    This should help your display problems and also reduce you init times,
    note 6418 gives some more details.

	No, it is on the same floppy as swxcrmgr.
	For serial line access you use slrmgr.
	Nothing to do with Operating systems.

6707.4SRLMGR standalone programSEDTMA::SIAREYTue May 27 1997 02:505
    The SRLMGR is the serial line (character cell) version of SWXCRMGR
    which is run from the >>> prompt, (ARC run a program).
