Using Different Codes for VCO/HCO
If you are communicating with another minicom user you can use VCO or HCO in
either direct connect or acoustic modes. If you are communicating with Typetalk
or a Qwertyphone-user in CCITT then you should use the direct connect
instructions and follow the special commands for Typetalk.
If you are communicating with a European minicom user who is using EDT, then
you must use the acoustic mode instructions.
For more information on the different codes and how to select them see
