SuperTimer, I do think I need help with the init string anyway, because I cannot get ProTerm to init by itself. I have to run TimeOut TeleComm, let it do the init, then go into ProTerm and will init ok. And then transfer - but with some errors. So I would appreciate any help with the init string. Thanks.
