Jon,
first, it is great, please continue, just please don't overshoot it. Thanks. I will. Overshoot it? Not sure what you mean. A couple of remarks, mostly formal: you mention DCE (and DTE). One of the most confusing thing for newbies is the usage of such abbreviations (and after "decoding" to "Data Communication Equipment" it does not get clearer IMHO). I would call it "modem-like", "slave" or anything else, with the "DCE" following in brackets for the advanced reader. Ok, I almost didn't even want to mention it, just reference it in the links. formatting - I would recommend using block alignment of lines in paragraphs Do you mean "Justify"? If so yes, that would make it look better. I assume you used Word and exported via Adobe PDF distiller. Word has a stupid feature switched on by default - it automatically capitalizes after a fullstop. E.g. on page 21: "It's recognized as a comm. Port,...". Actually it's MS Works, virtually the same. I saw that and spelled it out later. the tables on page 20 - I assume you have taken them over from some source, are you able to edit it? If yes, I would recommend torename TD and RD into the more common TxD and RxD what they call there UART and should be DTE, call "PC(DTE)"; the "modem" is already there (maybe call it "modem(DCE)") indicate the direction of signals in the table (PC->modem, PC Hmm... that's all that was quoted and I know there was more. Might have been too much ;) Not really, on the tables and descriptions - that's no problem. As far as the pictures, I can work on those when I get the content complete. Thanks for the input. Jon |
