The terminal types supported are I just got my ISC V3.3 R2.2 set up to run VP/ix and while most of what you say is what I've seen, there is one major glitch: if I lose the carrier while in VP/ix, the task just sits there as a sub-task under getty and doesn't abort. If I log onto another line and kill -9 the VPIX task, then getty respawns. Maybe I haven't installed VP/ix right..... --Dave McLane
