gettydefs, ADDS Viewpoint 90 terminal

[Jay M. Libove]

I just bought two ADDS Viewpoint 90 terminals - one as a second
console wired to my SCO Xenix 80286 v2.2.1 machine, and the other
to be attached to a modem for general dialing out...

I have two questions: 1) Does someone have a termcap entry for
the ADDS Viewpoint 90 terminal? I haven't been able to find one,
and the other assorted ADDS terminal entries generate trash on
the screen.

And 2) The terminals _require_ that parity be used, and offer
Odd, Even, Mark, and Space partiy; they also have a setting for
"Use 1 Stop Bit? " where turning this option off seems to set the
terminal to use 2 top bits.

I've been able, with liberal experimentation and use of the
stty command, to get the terminals talking to the Xenix machine
clearly and without parity errors (the terminals nicely tell
you when something generates a parity error), but I've _not_
been able to set up an entry in /etc/gettydefs to have these
modes at startup time, so it is necessary to mess around with
the terminal setup in order to be able to login from it, then
stty to the right things, then re-setup the terminal...

I'm trying this gettydefs line now:

t # B9600 HUPCL # B9600 SANE ODDP INPCK CSTOPB HUPCL \
	IXON IXANY #\r\n@!login: # t

(the line is not broken like that in the real file)

and I've set the /etc/ttys entry for tty2a to be "1ttty2a"

and a "ps -elf" does show me that the getty on tty2a is running
with gettydefs entry "t" but nonetheless it doesn't work right...

Can someone help me with a corrected gettydefs line, or a complete
list of what I can put in gettydefs and what they mean (the manuals
are as obtuse as always :-(  ) ?

Thanks in advance!
