  Hello netlanders!

 I am having problems getting GSS-Terminal getting to work on my 3b1. I would
appreciate any help/suggestions.

 Along with my 3b1, I h have inherited GSS Driver set and a 
 GSS-Solutions GSS-Terminal diskette. I am going to summarize my problem below.

1. Installed GSS Drivers Vers. 1.01

2. Installed GSS Solutions GSS-Terminal Ver. 1.02 as per the instructions in
   the accompanying manual.

3. Now I had configured the hardware as below:

 a) In the GSS-Terminal set up, there are two options /dev/tty000 and /dev/ph1
    Not knowing what the tty000 is for, I chose /dev/ph1 since I want to 
    communicate with out side computers and would like to use the graphics
    capability.
 b) Telephone setup. I have only one telephone line at home. First I 
    configured the line 1  and tried to use GSS-Terminal but no luck.
    So now I configured line 1 as voice and line 2 as data and connected the
    line 2 to the telephone line.

4. When I tried now to create the GSS-Terminal, I get message
   " Requested Port is busy."

    I would appreciate help regarding how I can use this GSS-Terminal to emulate a graphics (TEKtronix 4014 say) terminal so that I can use it to plot while
 connected to out side computers.

   If this is not possible, could some one let me know where I can get a 
 graphics emulator for the 3b1?

Thank you very much
