Full
| This is normally used when communicating with UNIX systems, computer systems
such as large mainframes or timesharing systems like CompuServe, or a local
hobbyist bulletin board. In full-duplex mode, characters typed on the local
keyboard are echoed to the screen by the remote system, not by the terminal itself.
Full duplex is the default mode.
|
Half
| Typed characters are immediately displayed on the screen before being sent
over the communications line. This is sometimes also called "local echo."
Half-duplex mode is seldom used except for communicating with older time-sharing
systems.
|
Mnemonic
| This mode is reserved for debugging purposes and causes escape and control
sequences to be passed through and displayed on the screen. This is useful for
determining exactly what the TinyTERM Emulator is receiving in terminal mode.
|
Control
| This mode is necessary for transferring files from a remote computer. This
should be selected if your machine will only be used as the host computer during
file transfers and never used in terminal mode.
|
Dump
| This is similar to mnemonic mode but displays all data as two-digit
hexadecimal characters.
