Hi,
I have an F84 Xmitting to a Maxim232. The Maxim's TX line is tied to an old
serial mouse cable. The DB9 layout from the serial cable has 5 connections TD,RD,RTS,DTR
and GRND. So, I have the TX from the Maxim tied to TD on the serial cable and
the GRND from the serial cable tied GRND on my board. I put a logic probe on
the Maxim TX line and it appears to be xmitting ok. Question/problem is this
connection ok, should I be handshaking? Does anyone have any software to receive
from the com port.  I tried using Hyper-terminal but no luck.This project http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist/cheapic/alphabet.htm

says to set the port to Use XXXX baud 8ND, (8 bit, no parity, handshake disabled.
How do you set handshake disabled in hyper term ?
PS. I have Windows ME.
TIA,
Kevin
