Answer from Jozef OM7ZZ I asked abt that few days ago :

> It is software port, buffer to buffer, no handshake, baud rate is irrelevant. Router should get data at the same time, regardless if port is set to 1200 or 57600. Only Important is to use 8bit length.
> Control Port data are not transfered to keyer, they stops in Router. Router than sending flags and to keyer (focus changes etc ...) or starts some internal process (DVK).
