[Ovmsdev] Connection issues

Mon Sep 30 16:50:42 HKT 2013

For some reason although I can get debug out of the diag port, it does not
allow me to enter setup mode. I have tried typing "SETUP" (in caps and not)
a lot of times at various points through the boot, but no response. I have
tried following this with CR and CR+LF. It does not echo what I type
(though I can set a local echo) is that normal?
