I decided to do something useful with the RS-232-type port
on an HP-9000/3xx, & attach an old 2623a terminal to it.  
Unfortunately...I can't quite get it to go.  I can cat files
to the terminal, & sometimes a login: prompt is issued,
but I can't login or proceed any further.

Since I've done the same experiments on different 9000s with
different terminals, I figure it must be my configuration
(mkdev, ttytype, inittab, terminal, ???) rather than the hardware.
Anyone have a known working configuration
they'd care to share? (I've got lots of other HP terminals
I can try, so I'm not fussy about the '23, tho it's my
preference).  Funny -- this is usually a piece of cake.
By the way, I can get these terminals to work on an HP1000,
a Sun, a terminal concentrator &c w/o too much trouble, so
I think they're ok.

Thanks for your help,
