Hi,

 Do you have modem control enabled in the terminal setup? I think it's
best to use 9600-n-8-1 on port 3 (printer port icon) with XON/XOFF flow
control and "modem control". Might as well disable smooth scroll for
starters as well. That should get you running. My VT-320 won't talk to my
VS3100 without modem control enabled. That is likely your problem.
