After some testing, it appears to be the session that is hanging. Turning the wyse50 terminal off and on again does not produce a working line again. I even try to kill it with a "kill -9" and it takes quite a while to die. > This would seem to be a session thing, not a terminal problem.

I have tried a test that man termcap suggests (in vi delete 16 lines, then hit u several times quickly) and it appears to work just fine. It also appears that I have eliminated the digiboard as the culprit. I attached a dumb terminal to /dev/cuaa0 and I get the same problem. I also tried connecting a dumb terminal directly to a full (7 wire?) serial line, and I have the problem there too. So now I am stumped even as to where to look for the problem. I did a "stty -f /dev/cuaD00" on one of the ports and got; speed 38400 baud; lflags: -icanon -isig -iexten -echo iflags: -icrnl -ixon -ixany -imaxbel -brkint oflags: -opost onocr onlret cflags: cs8 -parenb Any ideas where to go from here? _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
