>>Sorry to barge in, but your problem interested me. I set up a Link MC-5 here running Wyse 50 emulation to check. I dropped it into monitor mode and it looks like your sequence gets through OK but is somehow 'misinterpreted'? I get a SOH A CR like you want but an 'A' appears in normal mode. Are you running other than straight Wyse 50 mode, some other emulation perhaps?

Can you monitor what data is actually being sent - I used to have a small DOS utility, which ran on a 2nd PC, placed between the two communicating devices - using 2 comms ports - it would display the hex codes of the data going in each direction.

Maybe theres some extra data being sent prior to you command sequence, which is stopping the sequence being recognised.
