2016-01-12 Thread John R. Hogerhuis
I mentioned a little while back that I was looking into a USB to Model T power (only... NO DATA) cable and had found one. Well, I still don't know how to buy one but the vendor sent me a couple of free cables. It works great! ​ IMG_0722.JPG

Xon/xoff flow control doesn't work with the model t and Linux unless you turn the baud rate down really low. That's why in HTERM I implemented hardware flow control. Teeny/DL is packet based and it doesn't use flow control. and in fact doesn't need it because it's completely client driven.
