When OFF and a connection takes place, the TALON will change to whatever mode is
specified in CONMODE. When ON, the TALON stays in Command Mode after
connecting to another station; that is, it does not immediately change to Convers or
Transparent Mode.

PACLEN n
(n = 0 - 255)
default 128
This command specifies the maximum length of the data portion of a packet. The
TALON will automatically send a packet when the number of input bytes reaches n. This
value is used in both Convers and Transparent Modes. A value of 0 means 256 bytes.

PACTIME [EVERY | AFTER] n
(n = 0 - 255)
default After 10
This command is used to pace the formation (and transmission) rate of packets in
Transparent mode or in Convers mode if CPACTIME is ON. In addition, a PACTIME
timer is necessary in transparent mode, TUP and LSUB modes, since the SENDPAC
character is ignored and treated as data. The timer is not started until at least one byte is
entered for a packet; hence, a zero data length packet is never formed and sent.
When AFTER is specified, bytes are packaged (if any available) when input from the
terminal stops for n*100 ms or when PACLEN is reached. When EVERY is specified,
input bytes are packaged (if available) and queued for transmission every n*100 ms or
when PACLEN is reached.

PASS n
(n = $00 - $FF)
default $16 <Ctrl+V>
This command selects the ASCII character used to allow the passage of any characters in
Converse Mode.
