[WT-support] Winkey sending only single character

Hi Bob,

from all the answers in this list it looks like that tunneling the RS232 
port over ethernet is not that unusual, but yes you are right it is not 
really standard.

Unfortunately I can not use a USB-to-Serial adaptor as this setup is a 
remote setup and there is no PC at the remote site.

I'm using a EXSYS EX-6034 
(http://www.exsys.ch/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=320&language=en&zenid=cfdf8b0d73336e5bb727f26b6189b243). 
Win-Test detects "Winkey v10".

That device server has four ports and in addition to the Winkey I have 
CAT, PA and Power-Meter connected without any problems.

I have never done any changes to the Winkey settings and I'm using the 
default settings in Win-Test.

I know the problem with these commands and remove them by default.

Once again I'm not sure if this problem is related to Win-Test! For me 
it looks more like a Winkey issue, but as lot of active contesters are 
on this reflector I was hoping to get some tips I haven't thought about.
