Thank you for the suggestion.
I found that eve-1.70 runs under wine (file edit only), and
VX commander does not.

I'll look into this one.

This works well, though I don't yet have a reliably working interface

I have successfully used a chain including an rs232 <-> rs422 converter
and breadboarded 74LS03.  I plan to build the 6-transistor model.

I'll check this out.
