	I am posting this for a professor who is having some problems 
with his HP equipment....

	Here is the lineup:

	1: HP PC-305CL w/ HP Basic Language Processor (83221B upgraded 
           to Basic 5.13 and PC 3.0 Boot Roms)
           - 9 Pin RS-232 serial port

	2: HP 7475A Plotter - RS-232 

	The PC-300's serial port works great when running a Vt-1xx or 
Tek 4010 emulation package to one of the Vaxen. The plotter works 
great when hooked up to the Vax (in eavesdrop mode) or straight from a 
HP-86. But......when running the Basic Language Processor we have been 
unable to get the plotter to respond. The BLP comes back with an 
serial port error. We have tried a number of different cable 
and serial port configurations to no avail. 

	If anyone has a configuration as above and could help us 
please respond via e-mail to the address below. If there is enough 
interest I'll post a summary. Thanx in advance, Gerard.
