Since with z/VM 5.3 a guest can now access the HMC ASCII terminal...we wanted to test the ability to use the HMC ASCII terminal to edit a file using vi. We found several documents discussing this, but had what appeared to be conflicting values in the /etc/inittab, and weren't sure which to use. It could be that either would work. -snip- > My guests have this: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear /dev/ttyS0 dumb=20 However, as you pointed out, your guests use "mingetty" and "dumb", and as we already have an entry for that in our /etc/inittab we should be okay as is. Thanks for your help... susan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2007 22:05:58 -0600 From: Mark Post <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: HOWTO activate vt220 terminal (HMC ascii term) in SLES9 guest running under z/VM 5.3 >>> On Wed, Jul 25, 2007 at 2:47 PM, in message <OF72C4EB55.A2448C3D-ON85257323.0063FCC3-85257323.00672 [EMAIL PROTECTED]>= , Susan Zimmerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:=20 -snip- > we are running SLES9 SP3 guests on z/VM 5.3 on a z9.
