problem: getting the TU58 emulation working

I tried to add the TU58 emulation (of Will Kranz) to my 11/34, but it does not work. Here is what I have done so far. I added an SLU/RTC (M7856) in the 11/34, and while I worked that out, I added a M7856 page to my website. The intention is to use the added DL11-W for a connection to the TU58 emulation on a (DOS) PC. I configured the DL11-W to CSR 776500 and the vector to 300, for DD:. LTC is disabled, as this is the second DL11-W in the system. The first DL11-W is the system console port. The serial TX and RX channel are set to 9600,N,8,1. When I boot RT11 and enter .SH DEV the output shows that the DD driver is installed and sitting at 776500, with vectors 300 and 304. When the DL11-W is not installed in the system, RT11 reports DD not installed. Next, I made a cable to connect the DL11-W to the serial port of the PC. To check the cable between the PC and the M7856, I started Win98 and used a terminal program. When I enter a character in the terminal app, I can read that character in the RBUF (776502). When I deposit a value in XBUF (776506), I see that character in the receive window of the terminal application. So, the cable is fine. BTW, I use only 3 wires: RxD, TxD, and Gnd ... I boot the PC to DOS, actually Win98 command prompt, not to Win98 itself and then starting a DOS box. Then I run TU58.EXE, for example "TU58 -cTST58.TAP". TU58 seems happy, it takes a second (to format the new "tape") and then reports to be "waiting for a BREAK, or enter Escape to continue". So, I enter ESC. Now the TU58 emulation says that it is waiting for packets ... I have RT11 running on the /34. Then I enter on the PDP-11 console .DIR DD0: Nothing happens, no output appears on the TU58 emulation on the PC. RT11 seems to hang, at least when I enter text on the PDP-11 console, that text is echoed on the VT102, but that's all! Entering control-C prints ^C, but does not return me to the . prompt. BTW, the TU58.INI file has these lines: port 0 baud 9600,N,8,1 That means that I am not using interrupts (on the PC), but polling. I assume that when you enter .DIR DD0: on the PDP-11 console, the TU58 emulation should at least print a "received packets", but nothing is happening. BTW, I also tried with an "irq 4" line in the tu58.ini file, but that gives the same results. I have the feeling that I am overlooking something obvious, or doing something stupid. Should there be some data (receiving packets from the PDP-11) appearing in the TU58 emulation screen? thanks, - Henk, PA8PDP.
