I can�t answer that. I just tried to open it with ModePro or NewMode
activated, but with no luck. The system slows down, no window of
GVPserial gets opened. Scout is my friend...

No, I meant in redirecting mode MiamiInit dials out. I�m not sure what
you mean. MiamiInit doesn�t dial out, when I choose the gvpser.device
of the G-Force. It does when I choose the internal serial.device and
redirect the bits to the port of the G-Force.

I didn�t transfer data in the redirection mode so I cannot say if it
would work worse. Courtney may have more experience in this case than
me...
