Braaaawwk!! Pieces of seven. Pieces of seven. Yes Doug, it looks like you have a Parroty problem. :-) Seriously, it looks like your terminal and your Ami are not agreeing on the parity. Given that the TEK is receiving just fine I would think that it would be set to IGNORE parity errors and just displays the lower 7-bits of each character. I s'pose you have three choices: 1) Change the Preferences for your serial port to match the parroty, er..., parity of your TEK terminal. 2) Change the setting on your TEK terminal to match your Ami's serial port. 3) Change both TEK terminal *AND* Ami's serial port to something else; I like NONE or SPACE parity. :-) -Rusty- -- Rusty Haddock {uunet!likewise,att,arpa}!hocpa!rusty AT&T Consumer Products Laboratories - Human Factors Laboratory Holmdel, New Joyzey 07733 (201) 834-1023 rusty@hocpa.att.com I LOVE CATS -- DEAD ONES!
