If you are using Hyperterminal it MAY work by doing this:
Hold down the left ALT key on you keyboard, then, on the numerical keyboard type 254 and let go of the ALT key. Then do the same but type 192 instead. This should be the same as sending $FE,$C0

If you're using the Serial communicator in MCS look for "Parse Control Characters" in the help file.

Hi Henrik,
I am using something I found SOMEWHERE called serial sender, I was unable to get hyperterminal to work. Thanks, JS
