You'll want a null-modem cable, and make sure that the port gets DCD (either cross it with DTR from the port, or from the terminal if it generates it properly) > Baud Rate = 9600 (goes up to 19200) > Data/Parity = 8/None > Stop Bits = 1 > Rcv Handshake = XON/XOFF (also supports DTR/Both/None) Don't use xon/xoff if you're an emacs person. Yuck. Ok, tie DTR on the COM1 end of the cable to DCD there, and take DTR from the terminal to CTS on the serial port and use the DTR handshake. > Xmt Handshake = XON/XOFF (only other option is NONE) > Comm = FDX (also supports BLK/HDX/HBLK - control local echo/etc) FDX is correct. > ( -Wes Santee | ) -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"
