I have an old Heathkit-Zenith H/Z-19 terminal, and I am trying to
use it to connect to a Linux system. I have it set up successfully to
connect to the Linux machine, but I have a small problem. The bottom
half of the H/Z-19 screen is filled with "p"s in reverse video. When I
reach that part of the screen, everything I receive is gibberish. Most
of the characters show up as some other character. Once I reach the
very bottom of the screen, the "p"s scroll up with the rest of the
text, but come back again from the bottom. I believe this is a memory
problem, but I do not know if I am correct. Do you know what could be
causing this? If so, how could I fix it?
