Friends,
I lost a Wyse VT100 compatible terminal a couple of weeks ago.
Generally, the only time it was used was during tape backups of the AP.
Before buying a replacement, I want to try to use my laptop to gain
access. I have B0193AC -Rev T in front of me, but I have had no luck so
far. (Is there a more appropriate one I should use instead?) I
searched the archives of this list last evening and found some very
interesting information--on other subjects related to this issue. I
have checked the cables--several times. I have put a little doo-dad in
series between the nine-pin connectors at the back of my laptop. I know
that the TD LED is green when I am disconnected, but it goes to red when
I try to connect. I tried using a null modem, it didn't help. I am
trying the laptop side-by-side with a working Wyse terminal on a test
bed, so I am certain of the pre-existing wiring and the responsiveness
of the test AP.
Before I lose what's left of my sanity, I thought I would ask a few
questions. Does anyone know for certain that this cannot be done? Has
anyone done this before? Does anyone know "the one little trick" that
makes this work?
I have one last question today. Why is it that the simplest things--the
"Pssht, heck yeah I can do that!" problems--are always the hardest ones
to figure out?
