you can always pick up a real dumb terminal like a spotline. I have it connected permanently to my 336 and voice wizard |
we only had an old panasonic disc lying around from a few years back. it did have a windows gui based TD1232 program, but that refused to work with the TD816 systems (there's a few of them around here).

interesting. i've got two usb > serial dongles here. i'd heard a lot of bad things about them, but i always figured the problem to be with the initial setup and installation of the dongle - similar to the way bluetooth dongles had problems with windows xp.
however, i still couldn't get the damn things to work. a few months later i went on a training course where i was told that the pcmcia adapters were supposed to be better, because there is no conversion from serial > usb - the card links directly into the pci bus on the system. this made sense to me, so i bought one.
funnily enough, when i use the pcmcia adapter with the panasonic programmer i get some brief activity on my pcmcia card, after which the program informs me that the session was disconnected. if i try and connect without actually plugging the serial port in, it takes much longer.
