Keywords: Emacs core dump on Pyramid

In a previous message I described a problem in running a unix version
of GNU Emacs over a DEC LAT box to a tty.  The DEC LAT box would
complain about something, send out a stream of ^G's and thus force GNU
Emacs to core dump.  This is not a problem for VMS versions of GNU Emacs.

As it turns out, this was a hardware configuration problem.  The
solution is to set the parameters on the LAT box connected to the unix
box (in our case a Pyramid machine) as follows:

		old setting		correct setting

Character size:	   7 bits		   8 bits
Parity:		   Even			   None


The LAT will now transfer all of the data between the terminal and the
host.
