Hi Darren,

many many thanks for you reply... and the replies from Jay, Timothy
and Justin, too.

I just plugged my serial cable from Serial 2 - DB9 (Wyse-120)
to the Serial A on the sun, no other cable is plugged on the
sun, nor on the Wyse ... (except keyboard on the Wyse)

....

I power on the Wyse, then the SUN ...

And wait, with only FDX 1- 1 written on the screen.

The only thing I can do with my Wyse is toggle PBSY like
this:

FDX PBSY 1- 1
...
FDX 1- 1
...

I am really in trouble, because I new to both SUN and Wyse
terminals ;-)

Would you know how I activate 8-N-1 on the Wyse-120, or what
FDX and PBSY mean ?
