RE: Decision Data 3776 dumb terminal serial port usage

Remember this port was designed for a serial printer... I'm not sure the 
terminal's code is going to support it as a full function serial port.

Subject: Decision Data 3776 dumb terminal serial port usage


I have looked through the archives, DD's web site and scoured our manuals to
no avail,

Here is what I would like to do with the serial port on that device -
hook up a serial output type bar code scanner to the terminal
to it can do direct input to a "screen" program -

We do have other scanners doing similar work here, but they are
hooked to a PC running emulation and are PS/2 Y-cabled in.

The area this is going to is more "hostile" and really needs a
rugged dumb terminal -

Is there a way to get this to work, have tried with hyperterm, but cannot
find the right combination of settings to get this to work, OR
am I going to be forced to purchase a keyboard wedge for this option -
sales reps of course have that and much more that I can use,
but I am looking for "in-expensive" and use what I have if at all possible.
TIA
