[LOGic] ADDING 2ND RIG TO RADIO INTERFACE

[K0DAN]

Hi Ben...

Tried permutations of 1 stop bit...no joy.

Checked TS2000 menu settings and as far as I can tell TNC is disabled. Many
menu items here, and explanations are not all that whoopy, but I'm
reasonably sure TNC is off. I think.

Fired up Hyperterminal...boy this broguth me back to the DOS days of 1982,
the Rat Shack Color Computer, etc., etc. I think I set up the Hyperterminal
protocols right, but '82 was a long time ago, right? Sending CTL-C, or any
other data doesn't do anything for the TS2000, or the RS2323 dongle I have
in the line. I have better luck when I type to LOGIC, at least the LED's on
the dongle blink.

But your idea of using Hyper Terminal is a good one...I just forget how to
set up and send commands to Hyper Terminal.

Tonto to Lone Ranger: "You're gonna die..."   Is this my fate?
