Problem was that console was set to serial = instead of graphics=85I was using the graphics adapter. ;) I never found use for a graphics head on that class of boxes. I don't have anything that can handle MMJ and no local place would sell a null modem cable. Problem! The system has booted and is sitting at the operator's console. It doesn't respond to my keyboard. I haven't yet gotten DECnet enabled or any remote access so I can't access the system.
