Re: My Little Menu Launcher

Hi,

Can you not make a image file and use MDI to load from QIMSI.

Re: Serial port confusion.

You can set the Baud rate of the serial port to the maximum, using the S*Basic BAUD command, then set the Modem Baud Rate to the maximum the modem supports and can connect from the BBS.

Re: Serial port confusion.

The wiring diagram, detailed above works perfectly with SER2 and the Simulant WIFI Mode,, for SER1 an interchange of the contol lines is required.

I thought about having a switchable serial cable to switch between SER1/2, I have get a proto-type made.

A simple cable from QIMSI SER3 would also work.
