No, certainly
not. There are ASCII (7-bit) and other
varsions that probably spoke EIA code.
I actually need to figure if I can use such a setup to
be
a terminal for systems with current loop I/O. I have a
Microdata 1600 with an integrated TTY port for the console
device, and I'd love to have an adapter which had USB
serial (and for what it's worth, actual RS232 serial
levels to a connector.
This is from what I see attempting to run a TTY from a
system.
As to the second, the tangent the author puts in is wrong,
I don't know if an ASR33 can run 5 level easily, but all
I've ever used are ascii 8 bit machines.
ASR33 is an 8-bit machine.
