These use the Baudot code and I have the conversion of this code to ASCII. The things I want to know are: a. Do these use carrier tones like standard modems? b. Are the send and receive frequencies the same as the standard for computer equipment? c. Is timing, etc. the same as RS232 standard? d. Baudot is a 5-bit code. What size "frame" is used for sending it ... how many data bits, start bits, stop bits, parity bit? John J. Wavrik ucbvax!sdcsvax!sdccsu3!ir230
