*  OVERVIEW:                                                                *
*  =========                                                                *
*                                                                           *
*  The AWC86 has two independent serial ports, COM-A and COM-B.  Normally   *
*  COM-A should be kept under MicroRTOS(TM) control to use as a console     *
*  port.  There are times, however, when an AWC86 application may need to   *
*  use both serial ports.  In this program the serial ports are managed     *
*  through a user command and a web page.                                   *
*                                                                           *
*  User command "#ter"                                                      *
*                                                                           *
*  You can input "#ter" on console A to start the Terminal function. After  *
*  the user command is entered the input from COM-A will be output to COM-B *
*  and input from COM-B will be output to COM-A. If a modem is connected to *
*  COM-B, commands to the modem issued through COM-A would be passed through*
*  to the modem on COM-B as if there were an RS-232 cable between the two   *
*  serial ports.                                                            *
*                                                                           *
*  Control through a Web page                                               *
*                                                                           *
*  When browsing the demonstration web page, you will see a page with an    *
*  information box. This is AWC86's standard web demo page.  After clicking *
*  the button to move to the next page, You can do the following activities:*
*                                                                           *
*       Change the baud rate of COM-B,                                      *
*       Send hexadecimal numbers to COM-B and monitor the response,         *
*       Send ASCII strings and see the response.                            *
*                                                                           *
*  If you have a modem connected on COM-B, you can send "AT" commands and   *
*  see "AT" and OK" responses from the modem as it echoes the input and then*
*  responds.                                                                *
