12.4.9 Cancel Commreq Function (4399)

This function cancels the current operations in progress. It can be used to cancel both read
operations and write operations.
If a read operation is in progress and there are unprocessed characters in the input buffer,
those characters are left in the input buffer and available for future reads. The serial port
is not reset.

Caution
12.4.10 Autodial Function (4400)
This feature allows the VersaMax CPU to automatically dial a modem and send a
specified byte string.
To implement this feature, the port must be configured for Serial I/O.
For example, pager enunciation can be implemented by three commands, requiring three
COMMREQ command blocks:
Autodial: 04400 (1130h) Dials the modem.
Write Bytes: 04401 (1131h) Specifies an ASCII string, from 1 to 250 bytes in length,
to send from the serial port.

If this COMMREQ is sent in either Cancel All or
Cancel Write mode when a Write Bytes (4401)
COMMREQ is transmitting a string from a serial
port, transmission is halted. The position within the
string where the transmission is halted is
indeterminate. In addition, the final character
received by the device the CPU is sending to is also
indeterminate.
