[WriteLog] Serial Ports AGAIN!

[Jim]

Don....You hit the nail on the head!  I just walked in from the shack and
that is what it was.
I have the equinox board back into the machine and running the ST-8000 on
com 2, the rig on com 1 and the tnc on com 3 (which is on the Equinox
board). Com 3,4,5,6 are on the equinox board.

All working now!

73 and thanks!

| 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 .
