The HP 700/92 terminals we have seem to work just fine with qterm. We only have one of them connected to our HP9000/845 as a console, and the others are hardwired to a HP3000/925, so I haven't added them to qterm's database. However, I looked up the string they return, when receiving "^[*s^". It is 70092, so you could add to qtermtab the line ^M^[*s^ 70092\12 hp2392 Hewlett Packard 700/92 Actually, I don't know which terminfo entry would be closest to 700/92 as there is no exact entry for it at least on HP-UX 7.0. Maybe someone could post a terminfo entry for it. However, because SAM doesn't like too many terminal types, I configured the 700/92 to answer 2392, so now SAM is happy and seems to work ok on console. That's why I used the hp2392 entry above. A.V.> 2) Why is the keyboard locking? Can qterm be convinced to A.V.> unlock it? Perhaps you have something configured differently in your terminal. The console here uses 8 bit character set (Roman-8), XON/XOFF handshaking, not ENQ/ACK. Ask more, if you need, and I will be glad to help. -- Kim / Internet: Kimmo.Suominen@lut.fi "That's what I think." / Bitnet: KIM@FINFILES Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
