A/UX Toolbox locks up

Wed Jan 18 08:41:42 AEST 1989

I am using the "term" sample program.
After a few hours of use, and usually when some modem activity occurs,
I am unable to get this program to recognize any events.
The mouse can still be moved.

The problem seems to occur when carrier on the modem changes. It is
not reproducible and usually occurs when causing maximum annoyance. :-)

Configuration: A/UX(International) 1.0, one Apple and one old Jasmine 80 HD,
5 MB RAM, networking configured out, 2400 baud modem on tty0, that's it.

Has anyone seen this problem? The only fix seems to be hitting the Reset key.
I could login on the modem and kill "term", and/or reboot cleanly,
but don't have a second computer to do it with.

NB: I do not know whether this can occur in the standard console window.
This is because I only have a German keyboard and use a slight patch in
the "term" program to translate characters.
