The tutorial example I have used states the following:

SCON = 0x50; /* SCON: mode 1, 8-bit UART, enable rcvr */
TMOD |= 0x20; /* TMOD: timer 1, mode 2, 8-bit reload */
TH1 = 253; /* TH1: reload value for 1200 baud @ 16MHz */
TR1 = 1; /* TR1: timer 1 run */
TI = 1; /* TI: set TI to send first char of UART */

So I've been configuring my Terminal client with a 1200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and different configurations of flow control don't seem to affect it.

Now, the TH1 = 253 is curious because it states "1200 baud @ 16 MHz" and my crystal is 11 MHz... I have a book that says FDh (253) is 9600 & 11 MHz.. so I'm not sure.

Thanks again for your help!
