Don....You hit the nail on the head! I just walked in from the shack and
that is what it was.
I have the equinox board back into the machine and running the ST-8000 on
com 2, the rig on com 1 and the tnc on com 3 (which is on the Equinox
board). Com 3,4,5,6 are on the equinox board.
All working now!
73 and thanks!

| Jim,
|
| You may be having a problem with the UART on the serial card working with
| 5 bit Baudot codes. I believe the ST-8000 uses the Dumb Terminal
| selection in Writelog. Many of the newer PCI and some ISA cards do not
| support 5 bits.
|
| To verify it, set the ST-8000 up on com1 or 2 and rig on com 3. It should
| work that way. Most computer comports still support 5 bits.
|
| I have been working with another Ham trying to get the PCI-400 Byterunner
| board to work in Dumb Terminal mode but no success. The UART does support
| 5 bits but the board does not .
