Yep.  constant low on TX.

It's entirely possible, but I put a scope on the TX line, and I see no 
activity at all with the unit in DATA or TERM READY mode.  The DATA LED 
blinks, so I think I need to signal the Model 43 that it is "connected".

As has been suggested, I joined GreenKeys and asked if someone has a 
similar setup that works, so I can replicate.

Worst case is that the driver board has issues, which at least will 
narrow down my search.
