Well, I did not try the "local" option, maybe that would > help? In a private mail Mr. George Robbins suggested that this "local" option were the one to start with, and I tried this too. But the terminal still does NOT work, not even the slightest prompt to be seen on the terminal. Only the "respawning too fast"-messages have gone away. And now I have checked the two serial ports of the machine and found both of them to be okay. The next step is to check the ternminal, but I know it to run flawlessly as terminal on an IBM/AIX workstation, up to 19200 Baud. So, please, who can help? -cr -- Christoph Rimek, Kiel, Germany (+49 431 57601) chrimek@toppoint.de
