This is the way it works.  To stop instantaneously, start typing a
callsign.  Two escapes will also stop it.

That is what is NOT happening, Steve. Unless I'm not typing quick enough? One
escape was all I needed, however. Could I have a problem with my keyboard?

I hope you're not planning to use packet in the NAQP, Bob...hi.  I had a
similar problem with the Paccomm Tiny-2.  The issue was stop bits.  Read
the manual carefully, Tree only supports whatever is in there.  I ended up
switching mine to 7 bits plus Even plus some stop bit combo.  A bit
difficult, but works fine now.

No, not planning to use packet, just trying to get things working overall and
I figured I'd kill 2 birds with one stone and make sure my config file for NAQP
was completed as I won't have time during the week. I guess I should have
been more clear. The PK232 reactions described occurred in Procomm, not
TR. TR doesn't seem to know the TNC even exists.

You'll do fine -- have fun.  See you Saturday.
