KL(IV)  −  PWB/UNIX 5/27/74

NAME

kl − KL-11 or DL-11 asynchronous interface

DESCRIPTION

The discussion of typewriter I/O given in tty (IV) applies to these devices.  Since they run at a constant speed, attempts to change the speed via stty (II) are ignored. The on-line console typewriter is interfaced using a KL-11 or DL-11. By appropriate switch settings during a reboot, UNIX will come up as a single-user system with I/O on the console typewriter.

BUGS

Modem control for the DL-11E is not implemented.
