Break signal? Not sue what you are referring to. Yuo mean when the thing
powers up and resets the port? Hrm, try disabling hard flow control. Do
you think its flow control or a signal in the transmit pin?

This would be difficult.

You will not find anything much regarding the pm 11 anymore other than
what Ive additionally written.
Answer me this... What problem is it causing for you?
