I know there was a discussion about this before, but my trip though the archives on minnie produced nothing, so I am asking this question here: I have a pretty cool ibm 3151 terminal that I would like to use on com1. I connected it up, added the following line to /etc/ttys: tty01 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" 3151 on secure and added a termcap entry that works under SunOS, NeXTStep, AIX, IRIX, and a few others (at least) to /usr/share/misc/termcap Now, I notice two problems here: -I am not allowed to login as root, even though I have marked this as secure. It always refused this: -When I try to launch vi, jove, emacs, or anything else, the whole thing blitzes out and I have to reboot the computer to get it back. I seem to recall a discussion about this before, and I'm wondering if there is any easy fix that doesn't require turning my com ports into non-standard behaving ones... Toodlepip!
