How are you getting into your faithful MicroVAX? Serial connection
or Telnet or DECnet? Is the terminal type being set correctly by VMS, such
as doing a SET TERM/INQ in your login.com file?
More likely than not you have a 7/8 bit display problem or someone
has manipulated the basic terminal driver (VMS) settings. Here is what my
MicroVAX shows for MSK v3.14 setup as VT100:
$ sh term
Terminal: _NTY1: Device_Type: VT100 Owner: JRD
Remote Port Info: jrd.usu.edu
Input: 9600 LFfill: 0 Width: 80 Parity: None
Output: 9600 CRfill: 0 Page: 24
Terminal Characteristics:
Interactive Echo Type_ahead No Escape
Hostsync TTsync Lowercase Tab
Wrap Scope Remote No Eightbit
Broadcast No Readsync No Form Fulldup
No Modem No Local_echo Autobaud Hangup
No Brdcstmbx No DMA No Altypeahd No Set_speed
Line Editing Insert editing No Fallback No Dialup
No Secure server Disconnect No Pasthru No Syspassword
No SIXEL Graphics No Soft Characters No Printer Port Numeric Keypad
ANSI_CRT No Regis No Block_mode No Advanced_video
No Edit_mode DEC_CRT No DEC_CRT2 No DEC_CRT3
No DEC_CRT4
$
Notice that VMS properly understands that a VT100 is a 7-bit
device ("No Eightbit") and to echo for us ("Echo"). and it's a DEC_CRT
old device (a 100 level and below). This is an Ethernet connection (Telnet).
The above is a good starting point for you to decode your environment.
To do more we would need to know more about your situation.
