Check which version of MODE you are using :-) even worse (it is Eric Auer in the copyright of the serial part of MODE). problem with quality control :-(((( > I would not suggest to pull modem lines to specific > TTL voltages though, because they use non-TTL levels. I would suggest to not let non-TTL levels (+12 Volts) to hit TTL inputs. not vice-versa.
