I'm not sure where the problem is here.
I've got a terminal hooked up the DS700's serial port, and have
configured it to be a telnet listener.
I'm trying to "print" to it from RedHat using their jetdirect routine.
Basically, the routine opens a socket to the port on the DS700,
then writes STDIN to the socket, closes the socket and exits.
If I run the filter directly without suppling STDIN, (ie, my keyboard
becomes STDIN), I can type a line, and the line will show on the
terminal hooked up.
But If I give the filter data for STDIN, nothing shows on the terminal,
almost like nothing is being read from STDIN. I modified the the
perl filter to write the STDIN to a file in /tmp, after supplying the
filter with piped data, the data was in the /tmp file, so I know it's
reading the data.
Any idea what is going on?
Could the data be coming in too fast, where as when I manually
type it, it's fine? But I don't get any garbage on the terminal, just
nothing.
The same terminal works fine, when our AS2100 writes to it
using LAT and lp.
