-
- The file FHSLINK.EXE is the new FOSSIL version of the HS/Link protocol
- driver. This version of HS/Link is useful if you are using FOSSIL
- drivers to access your COM ports. You may need FOSSIL drivers with non-
- standard computer equipment or with many multi-port serial cards, such
- as the Digi-board.
-
- FOSSIL HS/Link is identical to the standard HSLINK with the following
- exceptions:
-
- * You MUST specify the COM port opening speed with the -B option. I
- was not able to reliably determine the current COM port speed using
- X00. Future versions may remove this requirement.
-
- * The RTS handshake functions are not available in standard version 5
- FOSSIL drivers, so the -HS option may not work. Support has been
- added for X00 drivers, which extend the standard to allow this type
- of handshake.
-
- * I recommend a FOSSIL transmit buffer size of at least 5k. The
- receive buffer size is not as important, but should be increased if
- FHSLINK reports receiver overflow errors. Consult your FOSSIL driver
- documentation for details of setting buffer sizes.
-
- * The -PB, -PI, -N5 and -FT options are ignored since the FOSSIL driver
- now controls all low-level COM port details.
