I don't recall how old exactly this 3000/400 is, but the firmware

Alphas is the original version of the firmware ">>>set console
graphics|serial" setting. Maybe once they had more room, they were able
to add that siwtch to the firmware...
Just another observation... I have a LK401 keyboard on this 3000/400.
The [Shift][.] key combo in DECterm gives me the >, but here in Netscape
v4.08 (and also XTerm), it only gives me a period. Hmmm, odd. But I do
have the key that has does both < and >, which works in all 3
applications... Looks like the key mappings here in Motif need to be
tweaked.

Well, all I had to do, was to flip the S3
switch on the back, and
comment out the tty01 line in /etc/inittab file...
Now to dig around in the docs, because I'm curious about how to get
more system messages to show on the VT420 console now...
That would probably involve setting up the VT420's /device in syslog.conf
with an appropriate logging level.
I am surprised that the >>>set console graphics|serial firmware command
was not involved, although I have not personally used that type of Alpha.
