The Ultrix personality is running 2.2 because that is what our customer that we are helping has. (We do have 3.0, but not 3.1 yet). On the console, everything is normal. On any other port, the first character is sometimes lost on certain lines, almost always the second line in a batch of output... % ls -l Total: 204 [pause] -rwxrwxrwx... rwxrwxrwx... -rwxrwxrwx... or % sadfjha sadfjha:ommand not found. The hardware is: VAX-11/750 with 6 Mb, no FFP, 1 DMF-32, 2 Emulex CS-21 boards (no hitch when the machine is VMSing), TU80, RA81 (Ultrix system disk), RUX50 floppies, RL02 (problem occured before we installed this one), SI-9900 with a Fujitsu Eagle (VMS disk). Is this a known problem? I could not find any reference to this in the Ultrix system dispatch index. Is this an SPR-able event, or could I have something set wrong. I followed the manual explictly on how to set up the /etc/ttys file; the entry for the VT100 console is identical to the ones for the other ports. Any response would be most graciously received... Thanks in advance, -ethan -- Ethan R.
