I suppose that something is wrong with handshaking.
My LN03R printer should be capable of soft- and hardware-
handshake. The documentation says something about "restrain" flow
control.... ?-)
Perhaps someone knows the exact pin assignment of the printer port
resp. VAX's DB25-modem port (esp. RTS/CTS resp. DSR/DTR) ?
