SCO Trueport Login prompt problem

Issue:
Login prompt not presented on a terminal using trueport on SCO open server or login prompt is continuously repeated.

Cause:
Correct hardware signalling is not provided.

Solution:

Trueport can be implemented in 2 modes called STANDARD and LITE.

If STANDARD mode is implemented then RTS will be required between the dumb terminal device and the JSxxxx port.

Cable example for Software Flow control.

GND     4    -----     7     GND

RXD     6    <----    2     TXD
RTS     8    <----    4     RTS
