Subject: RS-232 HELP for internal RTTY modem in DSP-599zx
Hi Randy,
Many thanks for the info!
I am going to have some fun this weekend.
But I would like to suggest that Timewave consider upgrading their firmware
for the DSP-599zx so that the internal modem can handle burst modes with
higher baud rates. From my perspective, it shouldn't be a big deal. You
already have programmed the DSP-599zx to receive many different shifts and
baud rates etc when it is used as an audio filter for the data modes.
With a firmware upgrade, you can advertize that the DSP-599zx can also be
used on AMTOR and PACTOR (with the appropriate PC program -- PCTOR,
TERMAN93 and maybe even BMK-Multy)

Dumb terminal programs generally support only ascii, not baudot. I
think he's talking about modems that just put out mark/space signals
and depend on the terminal software to decode it.

NO - any and all programs supporting a "dumb terminal" mode provide
this. WriteLog is one I use that provides this. I haven't tried all
the rest.
I used Comp-RTTY years ago, and wouldn't update it even if updates
were free.
YMMV

How about when the buyer is not the user, e.g. Christmas presents?

Then technically, you are the registered "user" but you cannot give it
away because it doesn't belong to you. Most of the packages are marked
such that if you break then seal you are the user. Just wear gloves when
you handle the CD so you don't get your fingerprints on it then they'll
never be able to prove which one of you opened it :-)
