The machine should work though; it's likely that it expects a different
escape sequence for F2 than you're sending on its serial line.

I have no idea /what/ it expects though, because no DEC VT had a F2 key
that sent something to the host.

Perhaps ANSI defines some F2 sequence that you can try? And surely, this
should be in some ARC (AlphaBIOS) manual.

Cheers,


Emile.
