TERMINAL SETUP 
  
DESCRIPTION
  
This is for sunOS below 3.5 and ultrix below 3.0, not with DECwindows.
  
FOR A STANDALONE
Places to check for terminal setup include the /etc/ttys file, the /etc/ttytype (if on a Sun), eeprom, and the idprom. Also look in /etc/termcap to see if the terminal type is there.
Look at 'printenv' and see the type it states.  This can be changed in the /etc/ttytype and /etc/ttys or temporarily by doing 'set term=type'.
Making sure there is a tty* device in the /dev directory.  Also check the eeprom and the idprom settings.
ON VAXNCM
If on vaxncm, and it is a console, vi /etc/ttys on that machine and see if the console is at 9600 baud, and that it is a vt100 type.  Also it should have 'vt100 console' in the /etc/ttytype if it is a sun.
If you have a sun console window that seems to lock-up for some unknown reason, it could be that people are doing an rsh or rlogin to the sun and starting (trying to) suntools.  They may not be doing it on purpose or even consciously.  You need to put a trap in their .login (or have them) that will not let them start it up if is not their console.  Also do a rename of /dev/kbd to /dev/kbd_rename and /dev/mouse
/dev/mouse_rename.
An example to put into the .login:
	Start of the .login
		...
		if ("`tty`" != "/dev/console" || $TERM != "sun") exit
		...
		suntools
	End of the .login file.
VAXNCM
 
Vaxncm uses xterm in its /etc/ttys.
