Press Shift-Ctrl-Setup and you should see a lot more setup options. While in supervisor setup you can also use following codes: Ctrl-P Personality character selections (configure for example what arrow keys send, if I recall correctly) Ctrl-T tabs 1-80 use left&right to move and up to set and Ctrl-V tabs 81-158 down to clear tab. Shift-Ctrl-M sets right margin at cursor Ctrl-B Binary setup (probably not needed. I think that everything can be set using normal setup) Ctrl-A Answerback mode (enter answerback message) Ctrl-U User friendly mode (normal setup) Ctrl-D Defaults entire setup and function keys from EPROM tables Ctrl-S Save both setup and functions keys. Takes from 6 to 10 seconds. Ctrl-R Reads both setup and functions keys from NVM. Shift-Ctrl-X Unlock keyboard and cancel received X-OFF status ADM-12+ supports hardware handshaking, but it is DTR/CTS as opposed to RTS/CTS used nowadays with virtually every modem and computer. 19200 bps works fine with hardware flow control. Following null-modem cable should fix this and enable you to use RTS/CTS handshaking (which Linux supports, use CRTSCTS setting). Also set ADM-12+ for DTR handshaking from supervisor setup.
