Sending RRT; to the control K3 will put it in terminal mode, but it
will not put the remote K3 in Remote mode, so the control K3 will
appear to hang, as it's now waiting for RR commands that are not
coming. I don't know if there's any way to get the necessary RRR;
command to the remote K3 from your local N1MM Logger instance....
