Hi Robert:
I don't have a PK232, but did try to help Vic VE6PC get his going with
Writelog. Although we were unsuccesful in getting it going, I woould
suggest you consider at the following. If you use PC-Pakrat make sure
that it is set to 
	HOST MODE ON EXIT - DISABLED
and	FAST INITIALIZATION - DISABLED
you could also try a slower baud rate e.g. 2400,N,8,1

We had marginal success after hours of fooling around and Vic ended up
buying a KAM+
