The READER.EXE was developed by Stephane Bausson, the
Telecard father. It was developed for his par port
interface (take a look in telecard.txt).

He was so kind to send me the sources in Jan/98, and
I have adapted it for a Serial Type Reader like the

DumbMouse
MAKInterface
SerProg

I have made small cosmetic changes also, however the
writer of the original routines is Stephane and he
deserves our deep respect.

I have made the adaptation with the MAKInterface,
and the Software is working with and without power
supply.

I have not testet it with the DumbMouse and the
SerProg, but it should work.

However, if you intend to write to the Phonecard,
to Decrease the 5 Stage Octal Counter or to do
something else, it is recommended you use a
external power supply. The power the Serial port
is giving may not be enough, that varys on
differend PC's and various Telecards, some are
consuming more power and some less.

Ok, that's all for now.
