What on earth do you mean 'set XON/XOFF characters'?. XON/XOFF are
pre-defined characters. XOFF is decimal 19 0x13, and XON is decimal 17
0x11. You can't 'set' these. Just in the handshaking tab for device
manager (Flow control), select XON/XOFF for handshaking. |

I was under the impression that you could set the xon and xoff characters to any numbers you wanted.
Anyway, still no luck with the bootloader :( |

Hay Mr.T.
Yeah, some terminal programs DO allow you to set what characters are to be considered XON/XOFF !
Yet another 'standard' that's been corrupted...like RS232 when pins 2 and 3 got REVERSED as the 'new' standard of 9 pins came out....
Some daze I wonder, others I'm just confused....

Ah, yes. The reason I think that is because realterm has the options...
I will either need to dig deeper into this or ask for help. In the end, I need to learn how this stuff works anyway. |

If you change them, they are not then XON/XOFF....
CTRL-Q & CTRL-S were defined for this in the original teleprinters.
This was then carried on in the early VT terminals.
Doing software control with other characters is (of course) possible,
but using the standard characters is easiest. There are not actually that
many other characters available in the ASCII 7bit set. |
