there was a terminal emulator for GP32 a while ago, but it wasn't 9600 and didn't seem to work. Can someone point to some code or a file that'll recieve 9600 bps and display it on a screen.

regards to all
 
well the internet is one step closer...
I have an ethernet to serial box working, I have spoken to my GP32 via Darkfader's GPterm, and I have a hacked Palm Pilot serial keyboard. Together they mean CLI mail and Telnet/tty sessions.

The mobile phone data/serial cable is marked SAM (?) A200/A288. I had to rewire it to suit GP32. I am not using CTS/RTS hardware handshaking.

There are four wires in this unit.

**Red and Black power up the RS232 circuit inside the DB9 socket, so connect them to the power from the GP32

**White is RS232 to GP32 data

**Blue is GP32 to RS232 data

WARNING, If I got it wrong and you blow up your GP32, I'm sorry, but this is a hack, not advice, it may all be just a good story.

Current Blockers
Me - I'm old and slow, and HATE C programming!
GPterm is not 9600 bps, but that's easy to fix
GPterm uses about 2pt font size, tiny tiny letters, also easy to fix (?)

Total cost so far, about AU$120

Why am I doing this? for the same reason that I bought a Newton, or two, or three, seemed like a good idea at the time.
