	I am having some trouble interfacing a DIGITAL Letterprinter
100 to a Vax 11/750 running 4.2bsd UNIX.  I have tried almost every
different combination of switches on the LA100 (XON/XOFF,Modem
Control,Restraint and Speed modes) to no avail.  The printer seems to be
allowing the incomming data to overload its input buffer. It then emits
a series of beeps and prints garbage.  If anyone out there is currently
using a LA100 Letterprinter connected to a similar system as ours, I
would appreciate it if they could send me a letter documenting their
switch settings.

					Thank you,
