only thing that has a 16550a is my modem. i can't switch the cards, dads iliterate on computers. is their a program that i can use to strip chars off input from a com port and feed it to my synth? null modem to synth? thats my only option right now. if i use a serial terminal, some programs dont redraw right. and why does "type" exit when something from speakup is sent? or something. how will i simitaniusly redirrect stuff to the synth? it workks fine with apollo o and a term but lhow to strip that @f8 and control chars i dont know.
