Subject: Apple and Terminal Mode

Netlandians,

I'm trying to use a Super Serial Card in an Apple II+, slot 3, to service
an external terminal or modem. Works perfectly in terminal mode (I'm using
a Freedom 100 right now); full file access, etc.

BUT when I fire up MDM730 (configured for the Apple with a Super Serial
Card) and go into T (terminal) mode (or L for local echo to), I get a
rush of cryptic characters across the screen and a constant screaming bell!

This is with NO cards (SSC or otherwise) in slots 1 or 2. Still the same with
an SSC in Slot 1; totally locks up on entering T or L mode with SSC in Slot 2.

Nothing unusual about the SSC configuration in Slot 3 - 9600 baud 8 data bits
1 stopbit no parity no interrupts.

This is an interesting project (want to be able to access the Apple via
modem, while the Apple is part of an Omninet), but there's obviously some
sort of conflict or crossed signals between the SSC in Slot 3 and everything
else.

Any ideas, friends?
