I suspect that the DTE speed your modem uses for incoming calls --
probably the speed at which you last issued an AT&W command -- does not
match the port monitor's initial speed.  The port monitor is evidently
getting it sorted out somewhere along the way, but when you log out it
reverts to its initial setting.

   The latest revision of the Sun Hardware Reference is available via
anonymous ftp from ftp.picarefy.com:/pub/Sun-Hardware-Ref, or
ftp.netcom.com:/pub/ru/rubicon/sun.hdwr.ref. While it is not comprehensive,
500+K of jumper settings, board descriptions, etc., starting with the earliest
Sun-2's and going up, is nothing to be sneezed at, and it is growing all the
time.

   I have been posting it (or pointers to it, once it got really big) to
comp.sys.sun.hardware for some time. I probably should have mentioned it
here before, since this is exactly the audience it was intended for (hobbyist
users sans docs). Sorry, but anyway you know now, and all future updates will
be announced here as well.

I IS more than you need.
Adding ":tr=^D:" to the printcap entry for the printer is sufficient.
