MacTerminal 3.0: Block Cursor Disappears on Macintosh LC


I'm using MacTerminal 3.0 on a Macintosh LC with System 6.0.7. My block
cursor disappears off the screen when logged onto the VAX using VT320
emulation. I have to go into the terminal settings dialog to get the cursor
to show up again.

Are there any compatibility problems with MacTerminal and the Macintosh LC?

We tried both the LAT Tool over Ethernet and the Serial Tool to the VAX,
but were unable to duplicate the problem. We don't know which Connection
Tool you're using, but here are a few suggestions:

1) Throw away the old system file and reinstall it.

2) Throw away the Communications folder, reinstall the CommToolBox and
its Tools from a known good copy of the diskette.

3) Make sure that you don't have any other INITs/CDEVs in the
system that may conflict.

4) We have heard that some network devices that provide serial look-alike
drives are having problems with the CommToolBox. If you're
using one of these drivers, remove it and try MacTerminal again.
