Wyse Dumb Terminal

Wyse Dumb Terminal

Post by Chris William » Mon, 29 May 1995 04:00:00



I' trying to setup a Wyse 50 Terminal on one of the com ports of my Pc.
Before you start mailing and posting, I've read the serial howto word
for word. I set up the inittab and getty files, but when I do a kill -HUP
all I get on my terminal is ATZ. I know that this is the hayes command
for reset, but I can not get it do anything else. I've checked the
settings for the terminal itself but still no success. Could anyone
tell me where I'm going wrong or is there some extra configuration
needed. Oh and also I definitely have a proper Null Modem cable. Thanks
in advance

Chris

Chris,
        You might look in /etc/inittab to see what device the "port" is.

Do you have it as a dialup, or a serial line?

Good luck,
Rick

1. Using WYSE/dumb terminals under Linux?

Is it possible to connect a dumb terminal up to a Linux box (i.e. a vt100
or better terminal such as a WYSE)?

Does this have to be connected via an ethernet or a serial line?

How is all this set-up (which files do I have to edit?)

Also, where can one buy a cheap second-hand terminal (UK only)?

Any help appreciated, thanks, Roger
