[net.micro.atari] atari port usage

Has anybody tried to use a regular terminal on one of the RS-232 ports that
come in the 850 com unit? Is there a special trick to it?

I have connected a standard terminal to the ATARI 850 - it was straight
forward, connect the data receive and transmit and ground to the right
pins on the terminal and go.  Some terminals may need a "data set ready"
signal to unlock them.
