I don't know if anybody is running this particular setup but if anybody
has gotten it to work I'd sure like to know how.

I have a Motorola Delta 88 box with an MVME180 processor board sporting
a version E.2 88k chip. I am running Unisoft UNIX V/88 Release 3.2,
version 1.2c. I have an MVME335 serial board. I have two identical systems
Motorola has checked out the hardware and says its all OK. Unisoft says
this configuration is supposed to work and has suggested strapping for
the serial board which we have followed.

Problem: We can't use the terminals hanging off the serial board.
inittab, gettydefs, and so on appear to be set up correctly. And in
fact the ports seem to be initialized, but are not held open. I have
found Unisoft to be most unresponsive to this problem.

Question: has anybody gotten a system like this to work? Has anybody
tried? Any ideas?
