It doesn't ignore. We're talking about standard RS232C. Anyway, this approach really works with Sunrise IDE, so it should work with Z8530 too. > This should in > no case cause data corruption.

No data corruption, no bytes lost. So, I would like to make it works also with Z8530. > You should try to follow the > protocol. It's a RS232C driver, so I follow the RS232C protocol. I can't tie it to the PPP or SLIP or TCP protocol, because the RS232C driver don't know about it. It's the classical OSI layer approach.
