LD 20 PRT starts OK then goes downhill

[chrismec]

Hey all, I am needing to get a complete list of TN's but having some issues. This system has been poorly maintained and is on its last legs. Trying various ways to get the info out (LD 20 prt & LD 81) but after a few seconds the terminal data coming in is mostly garbage (corrupted). Have to star outta it to get back to a prompt. Have better luck with LD 83 but it does not seem to be complete. Some tn's do not list when I know they are there and active.

Any ideas on how to prevent garbage prints OR get complete data out of LD 83? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The problem is the device you are using to print to cant keep up with the output from the PBX. Connect a laptop on to the TTY port and use a communication software to store the data. Procomm is a good one to use.

Turns out the issue was with the ancient modem. Was dialing in with teraterm. Physically at the terminal it is fine. Now I'm just wondering why LD 83 does not give complete info... Thanks KCFLHRC
