using UP9600 in prog8

Hi
Hopefully someone can help me with this.

Basically, I'm trying to do this:

10 rem sys51200
20 OPEN 5,2,0,CHR$(14)
30 GET#5,A$:IF A$<>""THEN PRINT A$;
40 GETA$:IF A$<>""THEN PRINT#5,A$;
45 poke53280,a
50 GOTO 30

in prog8 (https://prog8.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html)

I think its going to be something like this :

sub Setup() {
; -- init driver
c64scr.print("initializing driver.\n")
%asm {{ jsr 51200}}
c64scr.print("driver initialized.\n")
c64.SETLFS(5,2,0)
c64.SETNAM(???)
c64.OPEN()
}

but I realize that I dont fully understand what :

20 OPEN 5,2,0,CHR$(14)

is doing, in particular, the chr$(14) part.

Thanks for your time.

ok, I think I get it..

sub Setup() {
; -- init driver
c64scr.print("initializing driver.\n")
%asm {{ jsr 51200}}
c64scr.print("driver initialized.\n")
c64.SETLFS(5,2,0)
c64.SETNAM(2,"14")
c64.OPEN()
}

setnam expects the length of a string for the baud rate settings and then the acutal string is the baud,data bit,stop bits all or'ed togeather..?

The example above seems to connect to my python test server unsing VICE. I'll try it on my real c64 once I figure out how to read and write from/to the device I opened there.
