I've never seen this particular arrangement so I am just guessing here, based on experience with other VAX terminal setups. The terminal settings you quoted in a different message look ok except for modem control being enabled. When this is the case, VMS will want to see the right modem control signals from a real modem or something very like one. Some serial controllers do not support modem control signals and cannot be used without disabling the setting, even if you have a modem. Try this: $ SET TERMINAL TXA3 /NOMODEM /PERMANENT $ SET TERMINAL TXA3 /NOMODEM It might also help to eliminate another variable by disabling autobaud: $ SET TERMINAL TXA3 /NOAUTOBAUD /PERMANENT The other important setting to have right is Type_ahead but you already have that. Once you turn off modem control and autobaud and have Type_ahead enabled, when you press return on a terminal connected with just TX, RX and ground, you should get a banner and a username: prompt or maybe possibly just a username prompt if everything is working normally.
