SUMMARY: Netra t1 Returns to Ok Prompt

There were two main suggestions:

1 enter a line into /etc/system set abort_enable=0
2 Have the laptop powered up with hypercom running and then
connect/disconnect the cable. This option would work just fine if I could
rely on NT staying up. So I have chosen the first option (and it works).
Which I'm told is not necessarily the best, as it prevents you from being
able to send a genuine break signal.

Thanks to all that responded. You'll be sure to hear from me soon!

Hi all,

I've just subscribed to this list and would like to ask my first question.

I've been appointed administrator of the above box... and am having a
problem with it returning to the ok prompt. I am connected to it via serial
port A, with a null modem cable, into an NT laptop. I'm using Hyperterm.
When I disconnect the cable, powercycle my laptop or it crashes (the latter
is normally the case), it returns to the ok prompt.

I've tried "set abort_enable=3D0=20" which was suggested on another list but
upon reboot, I'm told it ignores anything from /etc/system D0 onwards.

I haven't had much exposure to UNIX/Solaris7 (which is what I have
installed), so I guess it's going to be a very steep learning curve!

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Tony
