> Not sure why I would need two sessions. Hal can you explain please? One for reading, one for writing. They probably aren't necessary. putty and similar serial control programs are complicated. I don't use one often enough to have one I'm familiar with. So I tried the low tech approach.

I was about to delete this but it sparked a thought for the windows worlds it would seem either 1 or two putty sessions would work the same as Hals idea for the linux world. Not sure why I would need two sessions. Hal can you explain please? Regards Paul WB8TSL On Mon, Nov 15, 2021 at 2:41 PM Hal
