I tried connecting a terminal to the serial port on my Amiga last night.
Without reading anything (it was late!) I did this:
connected 9600 baud terminal and set preferences serial to 9600 (with
all other associated parameters matching).
Then typed (from a CLI window on the Amiga screen):
MOUNT AUX:
NEWCLI AUX:
the prompt came back, I heard beeps like crazy (I forgot to allocate the
port on my VAXstation and ol' Amy tried to log in...). Anyway, I quickly
typed (on VAX) $set host tta2:/dte
Voila! A prompt from Amiga popped up! I could do DIR, CD whatever! The
only problem (quite limiting) was the fact that Amiga only sends LF (line Feed)
and no CR :-(.. MAkes for a trying session...
ROM-Wack works fine (good ol Error1 from GOMF and the GURU gadget!)
How do I set up the AUX: device to behave more like a CRLF speaking terminal?

I found the following on Plink, sounds like it may be what you are
looking for. It can be copied from;
SMAUG::USER1$:[LINDSEY.AMIGA.PUBLIC]AUXHANDL.ARC

Aux-Handler V1.0 (c) Steve Drew 1987
----------------
I. Desciption:
- Installs as a dos handler to control the serial port as a console.
- Support all relevent dos packets including WaitForChar and
ACTION_SCREEN_MODE.
- To your process it looks just like a CON: handler, screening
control chars doing CRLF translations and handling deletes ect...
- Can be made into a RAW console via ACTION_SCREEN_MODE, it then
acts like a RAW console which does not echo characters or handle
control chars, but just passes all keys entered back to the process.
This would allow you to implement a ANSI style screen editor like
maybe MicroEMACS 3.x to work through AUX:. Now thats a multiuser
system!

Thanks Jerry. Looks like the thing. I'm surprised 1.3 AUX-handler doesn't do CRLF translation. Seems like it locks out alot of real terminals. The 1.3 Im'm refering to is a GAMMA. I'll have to try the real 1.3 once I get it installed... John | |||||
