[Scilab-users] ?==?utf-8?q? help for RS232 programming

[Philipp Mühlmann]

trying putty with following Setting:

connect to      COM1
baud               9600
data bits         8
stop bits         1 (or 2)
parity              None
flow control     XON / XOFF ( didn't Play with this Setting)


gave only "?"-Symbols when I wanted to write in the cmd-like window

now I am confused....
