dosbox -c "serial1=directserial realport:COM5" -c "mount c c:\aea" -c "c:\aea\pcpakrtty.exe"

Since the PK-232 uses a standard RS-232 serial interface, any robust terminal program can be used for basic operation and configuration.

DOSBox -conf pk232.conf -c "mount c: c:\aea" -c "c:" -c "pcpakrtty.exe --l"

| Error / Symptom | Likely cause | Solution | |----------------|--------------|----------| | "Invalid switch --l" | You typed --l with a non-compatible program | Omit --l ; use -L if logging needed | | No response to Ctrl+C | Flow control wrong | Set RTS/CTS hardware flow | | Garbage on screen | Baud rate mismatch | Set PK-232 dip switches to match software (4800/8/N/1) | | "Port already in use" | Another app or --l flag locked the port | Use mode com5: baud=4800 parity=n data=8 stop=1 then retry |

Some community scripts on GitHub use --l or --log to log raw KISS frames.
