[WriteLog] Serial Ports AGAIN!

[Don Winn]

Jim,

You may be having  a problem with the UART on the serial card working with 
5 bit Baudot codes.  I believe the ST-8000  uses the Dumb Terminal 
selection in Writelog.  Many of the newer PCI and some ISA cards do not 
support 5 bits.

To verify it, set the ST-8000 up on com1 or 2 and rig on com 3.  It should 
work that way.  Most computer comports still support 5 bits.

I have been working with another Ham trying to get the PCI-400 Byterunner 
board to work in Dumb Terminal mode but no success.  The UART does support 
5 bits but the board does not .
