As an old Unix geek I understand and agree.
I however found an opportunity I couldn't pass up
A new 12 inch WXP laptop for $679.00 less $250.00 in mail-in-rebates
($429.00 net) That's the good news. The bad news is no serial port (3
usb) no ps2 port (keyboard or mouse) (3 usb), I've never heard of the
brand (Averatec) or the WINmoden (Smart Link) I was able to make a
HyperTerm dialup connection
to a Unix machine I control from the store, so I bought it.
I added my wireless card and installed my navigation software and gps
antenna (usb.)
K95 works as normal with network connection. K95 works as normal
until connect.
Then no display on the screen. Keyboard out works as normal. I can
dial, connect and operate the remote blind. This is what I use set
car off (answer to Jeff's question) for. To manually dial the modem.
If I make a direct connection(com3) with HyperTerm and manually dial
(atdt1234567)
Screen display is normal. Nothing similar to set car off required
for HyperTerm
I'd appreciate suggestions for parameters to fool with.
It's like set carr off works on the input (keyboard) side of the
connection but not on the
output (display) side.
