Guys, I have successfully setup a serial printer attached to a Wyse-60 terminal which in turn was connected to a serial port of a FreeBSD box. Everything works perfectly, the printer interface script locks the terminal keyboard, and dumps the data out the AUX port, then unlocks the keyboard, etc..etc... However, now the terminal is being used at a remote location and is attached to a modem. The answering modem is attached straight to a serial port on the FreeBSD box. The Problem: After approx 15 lines or so of printer output the output gets garbled... sometimes it overwrites or staircases, sometimes the text is repeated. My first thoughts were on flow control, but I'm a bit unsure as to how to tackle it. I have tried some different fs and xs settings in the printcap file, however they seemed to have little to no effect. Any help or direction anyone can give is greatly appreciated.
