Werner,

If I recall correctly from my modem days --
The naming of RXD and TXD is correct for the K3 (it is incorrect for the K2)
A DCE device (computer port for example) transmits on TXD and receives 
on RXD
A DTE device (like the K3 or other terminal device) transmits on RXD and 
recieves from TXD.
Yes, it is confusing, but the standard goes back *much* earlier than 
either the K2 or the K3.

73,
Don W3FPR
