I *can* log in as E71 and do an stty to get to 8N1, but when I crank up vi (elvis), it plops me back into E71 during the editing session. As well, after leaving it, the tty is "restored" to E71 instead of 8N1. Apparently, felix@smoky.ikf.physik.uni-frankfurt.de has "hacked" (his words, not mine :-)) up a version of getty which does the right thing, it is available on ref.tfs.com in /usr/packages/getty.tar.Z. But, I haven't had time to try it out - has anyone had any success? - Thanks - - Dave Rivers - (rivers@ponds.uucp) -- UPDATE ALL INFORMATION AND POD INTO COSMOS - Federal Express
