3-4 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.   

3-4.1 Running 

BBTALK 

Access the drive/directory containing the 

BBTALK

 program.  Type 

BBTALK

 at 

the DOS prompt.  The program will load, and a blank communications 
screen will appear with the following menu at the bottom of the screen.
