Thus spake David:

I don't really know what protocol information is even, but this vb2+ speaks plain
unadorned ascii < 128. There are no special
bits added to the ascii characters.
It was intended to plug in to any system and replace any dumb terminal.

serial i/o is via rs232 serial port; it has dce and dte both.

Here are the options on the serial parameters menu:
baud rate:  9600, 4800, 2400, 1200, 600, 300, 110, 75
lol, can you believe that?  75 baud.
data bits:  8, 7, 6 5
stop bits:  1, 1.5, 2
duplex:  full, half
parity:  odd, even, none, ignore
dc in:  yes, no
dc out:  yes, no
dtr:  high, low, hs
dsr:  yes, no
cts:  yes, no
rts:  high, low, hs


stty </dev/ttyS0 crtscts
worked perfectly, and im gitting perfect output 9600 baud.

You guys are a gold mine.
