[Simh] Problem using a real VT terminal with simh

[Paul Koning]

Do you have flow control (Xon/Xoff) enabled both on the terminal and on the VAX?

You might try a slower speed to see if that makes a difference.  It shouldn't, but it might give more information.

Is autobaud enabled on the line?  You might turn that off and set the speed and related parameters explicitly.

Despite that, when I type a username and a password, I do get logged into the simulated microVAX. Any commands that I type on the keyboard of the VT420 appears on the screen of the VT420 (except the password, of course), but anything that the microVAX is sending to the VT420 appears as garbage. There are recognisable characters, but if I TYPE a file, even a small one, what appears seems to be every 7th character from the file starting with the first character. The output of commands such as DIR appear to have the same problem. ...
