Hi James,
Looks like the NADSBox is already activated and ready to go. I'm not
sure why it is echoing back the characters twice, but I do know that in
normal mode, all commands must use lowercase letters. Uppercase letters
are reserved for TPDD protocol use (the protocol starts with "ZZ" for
instance). So the double echo may be a function of the NADSBox state
machine trying to process uppercase character as protocol information
and getting confused.
Try typing "help" (all lowercase) at the ">" prompt. You should get a
list of commands.

I can access the NADSbox, as I have a REX and thus TR-DOS already
installed. I was able to access the NADSbox by selecting DISK in
TR-DOS.

Hi James,
I you go into TERM first and then power on the NADSBox, do you
get a prompt stating you need to activate? I wouldn't expect
the activation mode to ever respond with "unkown command" or
even "UNKNOWN COMMAND". Try just hitting enter ... perhaps on
your unit I simply forgot to put the NADSBox into activation mode.

Sounds like you have the local echo on which echoes every
key you type and then the NADSBox is also echoing
everything in term mode, which is normal. I am not in
front on a Model-T right now but I believe it's F4 to
turn the echo on/off when you are in TERM

Hey guys
I've finally had a chance to sit down with my M100 and
try out my NASbox, however i think i must be doing
something wrong. I mean it has been a while since i used
this unit.
So i went in to TELCOM, selected STATE and entered in
98N1DNN
I then went TERM and tried to type in ACTIVATE, on i'm
getting AACCTTIIVVAATEE
UNKNOWN COMMAND
What did this idiot do wrong?
