- Some Telebit models have a secondary interface as part of their
- serial connector, with TD, RD, RTS, and CTS signals. Apparently it
- can be used to issue commands while a connection is active on the
- usual pins. I have a T2500 manual and a combined T2000/TB+ manual
- which shows the wiring; I don't know what ROM revisions the manuals
- cover.
