Televideo TS-806/20

I don't have the cables for the winch (control) or winch (data) ports
although I have a board for them...they aren't important, I just thought
I'd mention that. I don't have a (working) terminal right now, so I tried
it with my pc (via serial port & pcAnywhere emulation of TVI 925 _at_ 75 to
1200 baud settings, n&e&o parity, 4 - 8 data, and 1 stop). With any of the
settings, I get garbage on the screen. I would like to get it to work with
my pc. Any help in those settings in particular would be great. I noticed
8 dip switches on the main board. Do you know what they are for?
