I recently picked up an old dumb terminal for about $5 at a flea market,
and I want to be able to use it with AUX: as a remote CLI.  However, I
can't get it to run - it works perfectly with any terminal program (it's
a classic ADM-3A) but not with AUX:.  I never have been able to get AUX:
to work, and I've tried it with my other Amiga hooked up (DNET works fine
between the two computers so I don't think it's the serial cable).  I
do the normal "mount AUX:"  (WB mount, not ARP) and then "newcli AUX:" 
and the commands seem to go through OK (and I see the tasks set up in
Xoper) but the commands didn't work right - UNTIL TODAY.  Earlier today
I got it to work halfway - I could type commands into the terminal and
they'd run, but any return codes, messages, or even the prompt would
be garbage on the other side.  I tried using a serial port snoop program,
but it only showed incoming text (which looked fine).  And again, it
works just great with a terminal program running instead of AUX:.

I'm sure I have Preferences set properly (pretty sure; hey, if it works
one way...) and I saw a message from a Commodore guy who said something
about setting the baud rate in the mountlist rather than Preferences.
I wrote asking him if this was a mistake or what, and if not, how to do
it (as the 1.3 Enhancer manual has nothing about that) but have got no
reply.  If anyone has any idea why I would have a problem like this,
please send me mail.
