Re: ProTerm trouble - UPDATE



This reminds me...
I have a Super Serial Card and use two terminal programs...
1)  Modem MGR (and most other software) wants the interrupt switch OFF
    (regarding the other software:  if I'm running a program that doesn't know
    how to deal with the serial card interrupts, and I turn on the modem or
    plug/unplug its cable while the interrupt switch is ON, the computer
    crashes).
2)  Kermit needs the interrupt switch ON.

I would like to know if anybody has a recommendation of a different
serial card so that the software can turn the card's interrupts on or off.
Years ago, I used a California Computer Systems 7710 serial card, which
could do this; it was very nice except that you had to set a DIP switch
to change the bits/second.  Surely somebody, over the years, was smart
enough to make a card where the software could control both the interrupts
and the bits/second.
