OK, I feel really stupid, having bragged so much about being experienced with ancient stuff like RS232 and such, but here it goes: my Linux laptop just died, and I am reduced to using Windows. I can't get frigging HyperTerm to work correctly. First, it does not append CRs to LFs. I would have fixed that on empeg side by changing stty settings, but HT does not seem to deliver any keystrokes to the player. I tried various emulations, verified that handshaking was off, verified that nothing else is using the port, and used emplode succesfully over the same port and cable.

I must be something trivial....
