[TenTec] Orion Serial Connection Baud Rate

[JBaumgarte at aol.com]

I just received an Orion from TT and hope to get it working with my  favorite 
logging program--NA, which I've used since it was first written.   I received 
the following from the program author, K8CC and wonder if anyone has  any 
ideas?
 
Following is paste from K8CC in response to getting Orion to work with NA  
Contesting Program:
 
I have the official Orion Programmer's Guide which shows what needs to  
be done.  It's rather complicated, and appears to share nothing with  
other radios, but that's not the major problem.  The problem is, if I  
read the Programmer's Guide correctly, the baud rate for the serial  
connection to the Orion is fixed at 57,600 baud.  Note that NA's COM  
ports only work up to 9600 baud.  This is because all of my DOS/IBM  
documentation only describe operating the COM ports up to that speed.   
So far, I've not had much luck finding information on how to program the  
ports for higher speeds.

If my assumption from the Programmer's Guide  is in error, and the baud 
rate can be throttled back to 9600, please let me  know and I'll start 
planning out the Orion code for NA.

If anyone has any suggestions, please advise.  Thanks.
