Using BBTALK
BBTALK is a dumb terminal emulator program. This IBM-compatible pro-
gram can capture raw data files and help troubleshoot configuration prob-
lems. You can use BBTALK for serial or parallel communications in either
an ASCII or BINARY mode. A binary-to-hexadecimal conversion feature
lets you view and record the binary output data in a hexadecimal format. A
LOG feature lets you record data to a disk file.
