Kev,

I've been tracking down a problem with my MM/1 and it leads me suspiciously
toward either the windowing software and or tsmon.

I've got a 3meg MM/1 with 5 serial ports, tho /t2, /t3 and /t4 are all that are
in use at the moment.  /t2 is a local terminal while /t4 is set up to be my
dial in. (tsmon /t4&).

Within a 24 hour period, /term and /w1 will have locked up. /t2 is still fully
functional. Rebooting has been the only way out of this fix.

Sometimes, with /term and /w1 locked up, /t2 will demonstrate what I've named
the 'just one off' effect. For example, if I wanted to issue the 'dir' command,
pressing the 'd' would net no echo. Pressing the 'i' would net a 'd' echo,.
Pressing the 'r' would net the 'i' echo. Hitting  would complete the
command and again to execute.

Any thoughts on what's going on?

I've taken to just running a shell on /t2 rather than using tsmon to see if
that makes any difference. (By the way, using mtsmon doesn't make any
difference. The same things happen.)

I'm using version 30 of wcf and windio but the same problems appeared with 22.

I've also noted unexpected values for xon and xoff in the window descriptors.
WHat's behind $0F and $02. CHanging them to 00 has caused an interesting result
at boot. Black border, black background, black type and a white cursor.

Blindly using the color command sets things right but it's still got me
wondering. (Thought the xon/xoff parameters might be related to the locked
probelms).

Anything you can suggest would be appreciated.

Steve
