I don't recall how old exactly this 3000/400 is, but the firmware
options are definitely fewer than, say, the DEC Multia which is a bit
newer. Basically, it seems like the S3 switch on this generation of
Alphas is the original version of the firmware ">>>set console
graphics|serial" setting. Maybe once they had more room, they were able
to add that siwtch to the firmware...
Just another observation... I have a LK401 keyboard on this 3000/400.
The [Shift][.] key combo in DECterm gives me the >, but here in Netscape
v4.08 (and also XTerm), it only gives me a period. Hmmm, odd. But I do
have the key that has does both < and >, which works in all 3
applications... Looks like the key mappings here in Motif need to be
tweaked.
