We have terminal ports galor. What I would like to know is there any way to redirect console input and output to another port. Where this is crucial is at boot time. We don't want to repair the DMF32 because we don't have any interest in throwing good money after bad i.e. the 730 is mostly a defunct machine. The Vax 730 is running standard BSD4.3 Unix -mike -- Michael Cohen ---- Center for Adaptive Systems Boston University (617-353-7857) Email: mike@bucasb.bu.edu Smail: Michael Cohen Center for Adaptive System Department of Mathematics, Boston University 111 Cummington Street Boston, Mass 02215
