[ct-user] CT and PK-900

[Joe Stepansky]

I know it's late for this, but does anyone have experience using the AEA
PK-900 for packet on CT.

For some reason, I simply can't get the sucker to go into Converse mode.
Here's what happens:

The PK-900 normally works with PcPakratt for Windows, and runs in Command
mode.  But CT needs Converse mode.  I've tried setting Converse mode from
Packratt, but the Converse indicator goes on for a millisecond and the 900
goes back to command mode.

So I go into CT, and open the Packet window.  I turn the PK-900 off, and
turn it back off with the Reset button pressed.  Sure enough, it tells me to
start the autobaud routine by pressing *.  I press * once, nothing.  Twice,
nothing.  But I know that CT is seeing the 900, I just can't send anything
to it.

I've tried both 8N1 and 7E1 settings with no luck.  I'm using 1200 baud, no
luck.

OK, that's where I'm at.  Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?  Or does anyone
have a "script" I can follow to get CT and the 900 to play well together?

Thanks!  I am really tired of working Single Op.
