OK, I'm stumped. I'd like to use a real VT100
as a terminal with an
emulated PDP-11 running RT11.
When the VT100 is connected to a real PDP-11, it works fine. When connected
to the emulated PDP-11, garbage characters begin to appear on the screen
when, say, doing a DIR command.
The garbage always starts in exactly the same place in the DIR listing.
After that, garbage characters (grey squares) become interspersed with the
good text.
Sounds like it may be related to (software/hardware) flow control. I
only have a VT220 here, so I'm not totally sure how the VT100 exactly
functions, but I assume it's the 'standard' 9600 bauds, 8 data bits
and 1 stop bit? (When you're working with actual hardware.)
