Re: New User questions re Hardware interface and what protocol.

["nweobi" <neilw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the welcome.

What do I need to get a XPL debugging system up and running on my
2000 & XP boxes? (MisterHouse is running on a W2K box & I develop
on
a XP box)

What documentation did you reference for RS232 comms to xPL?

Thanks,

Neil.
