VP/ix problems

[Jon L. Griffeth]

Note: I'm posting this for someone else.

We've been having problems using Crosstalk and SimPC under VP/ix.
They appear to work fine when calling a system using 8 databits, no parity
and 1 stop bit.  However, when using 7 databits, even parity and 1 stop bit,
SOME of the characters received from the other machines are duplicated.

For example, if we were expecting:

	"please log in:"

we might instead receive:

	"pplleasse llogg inn::"

Please note that these are not characters we are typing, but characters sent
by the remote system.  Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?

System Specifics:

	Unisys 950 (I think, it's a 386 box)
	SCO Xenix 2.31
	VP/ix 1.0



Thanks in advance,
Jon L. Griffeth
