Does the standard manual for a Wyse 50 contain information on Block Mode? I would like to use this for error checking purposes, hopefully programming a driver for Unix which can handle this. Noise at 2400 sometimes gets very bad, but livable if it's filtered out somewhat (local AM talk show radio interference, I think). I can't stand 1200 bps.

The "reference" manual contains a little about the block mode. Not much more than you could figure out normally. The signifcant parts re: block mode. "Keystrokes other than BREAK, SET UP, F1 through F16 and FUNCT are acted upon locally. .... Data stored in terminal are sent as message blocks and only when PRINT or SEND have been pressed." The following rules are listed " null characters are not transmitted" " attributes are sent as spaces" " if protect submode is on, graphic character codes are sent as spaces" " the end-of-block sequence is sent to host is one sent by BLK END ... in setup" And that is it. To turn on block mode shift Break or ESC B No seqeunce listed for turning it off. Manual isn't much more than the users guide that comes with the terminal. -- Bill Vermillion - UUCP: {uiucuxc,hoptoad,petsd}!peora!rtmvax!bilver!bill : bill@bilver.UUCP
