Bull Questar 310 BQ 3102

[Volker Englisch]

I have some serial terminals connected to a server running NetBSD.
Indeed, I use them for regular work ;-) While the DEC VT510 works
perfectly, there is a problem with the Bull Questar.

In the system setup of the terminal, there are the following choices:

Emulation mode Character set User preferred set
VT300 8b/Ctl ( ) 94 char. national ( ) DEC supplemental
VT300 7b/Ctl ( ) 94 char. internat. ( ) ISO Latin 1
VT100 ( ) Extended
VT52

Terminal ID Disconnect after ( ) Local display
VT320 ( ) 2 seconds
VT220 ( ) 60 Mseconds
VT102
VT101

Numeric pad Cursor keys ( ) Auto Wrap
( ) Numeric ( ) Normal ( ) Display ctrl characters
( ) Application ( ) Application

No matter what combinations I choose, I either have no national
characters displayed, or I can't use the arrow keys for navigation e.g.
inside an editor.

No matter what I set $TERM to (vt320, vt220, vt102). It makes no
difference at all. Furthermore the terminal isn't initialized by
"tset", only few options are set by stty.

Every time I try to activate "ISO Latin 1", it's automatically reset to
"DEC" as soon as the setup is saved. Well, that shouldn't matter for
the relevant characters are at the same place in both charsets...

Any idea how to setup that terminal for working national (8bit)
characters as well as useable arrow keys...?

Tia!
