I figured my Keyspan USB-serial adapter had finally given up the ghost so wired a null-modem between CHIMPY and RHESUS - discovered it was the idiotic ginormous-DB25-to-3xDB9-dongle-thing had fallen out of RHESUS, yet again. God that is the stupidest cable I've ever seen.

Maybe I should post a photo of what I have to do in order to connect a cable to MONK. :-)   The weight means I have to have something under it to support it.

Though this morning it was that stupid VT420 that I'm currently using that was giving me fits.   There is something not quite right about that particular terminal, and one of these days I'm going to have to dig up a better system console.
