Re: [M100] weird serial port (or other?) issue in T200

Mine refuses to work without RTS/CTS on. DTR is a must for TS-DOS. So it looks like the 200 needs both enabled or both as a loop back. Kurt On Thu, Jul 18, 2019, at 4:33 PM, Jim Anderson wrote: > > -Original Message- > > > > Agreed. TELCOM only uses XON/XOFF. > > > > I'm curious about

Agreed. TELCOM only uses XON/XOFF. I'm curious about this so I'll dust off my 200 and do some testing. Kurt On Thu, Jul 18, 2019, at 1:21 PM, John R. Hogerhuis wrote: > > > On Thu, Jul 18, 2019 at 1:01 PM Kurt McCullum wrote: >> __ >> >> One test for the original poster. If you are using a

One test for the original poster. If you are using a full null cable, just enable RTS/CTS on your settings and give it a try. This would eliminate the question. I say this because my T200 gave me a few issues when I was developing mComm. The thing that was strange was I had to have RTS/CTS

" know TELCOM in the M100 ignores RTS/CTS, and I thought that was also true of the T200" TELCOM ignores RTS/CTS. Many Model T programs require DSR signal or they won't send anything. I'm not sure about TELCOM. The other issue is the duplex. Half duplex, you see what you type. Full duplex, you

So I have been getting back into amateur radio this year (was licensed in 2002 but slowly fell away from the hobby with children, divorce, etc.) I'm sure I'm not the first person who used a model T as the terminal for their packet radio TNC. It seems like an extraordinarily good idea for
