WARNING..
Do not turn TRACE ON when operating PACKET. There appears to
be a bug in Oct 89 ROM version. PAKTERM aborts with a
"link error" message. TRACE works fine in the Dumb Terminal
mode.
TRACE may or maynot be a problem with the older ROM revisions.
For those who want technical details; in host mode, the
PK sends a ^A followed by a control byte before sending
any data. When TRACE is turned on , the PK232 does not sent
these two bytes before sending the hex dump information.
Consequently, PAKTERM can not determine what is being sent
by the PK232 and aborts with a link error.
WARNING....
Calling an external file transfer program, calling an external FAX program
or changing the baud rate/com port # may cause the PK-232 to lose any
and all PakMail messages that maybe stored in the PK-232 !
