Hi,

I just acquired a used ADM-5A terminal, and I'm having a bit of trouble
with it.  I want to use it to call in to the campus computer networks
here, but the terminal seems to generate an odd "carriage-return" value
that makes problems.  I don't have a manual (yet), so...

Symptoms:  when I dial in to an Ultrix system I get a login prompt; but
when I type my account and hit RETURN the cursor returns to beginning of
line without dropping down to the next line.  The host doesn't appear to
realize that it has a response.  If I call in to a VMS machine, I can
log in okay, and I can then "set host..." to remote-login to the Ultrix
system, and everything works fine.  Only the direct call-in fails.

Can anyone tell me what's going on?  How can I fix it?  All and any
information will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance...
