Found the problem, the cable we were using for the tty connection to the
3494 apparently was not a null modem cable, and so I added a null modem
adapter and all is well.

Thanks, especially to Richard (rbs AT bu DOT edu) .

I have experience with scsi attached 3590s, but not ESCON, so I could
not provide insight on the combo.  Sorry.  If you should need to call,
though:  617 353-8249.
