As a new owner of your Dual Serial Board, I'm very pleased and the board seems to work well in several applications. There is one request I'd like to make. When using the SERXI-Handler to support an auxiliary terminal, I've found that there are some incompatibilities with respect to the Commodore AUX: handler. The most annoying is that DEL does not delete the previous character, but backspace does. The original AUX handler would delete the previous character on BOTH backspace and delete. Some of the other editing control characters, like ^U to delete part of a line are not apparently supported either, but this is no major problem to me. Also, it would be helpful to me to be able to access the DSR, CTS or RI lines rapidly, as I'm using them as control inputs in a non-standard appliaction. Would an io_Command be the appropriate way to do this?
