Please set your mailer/editor linewrap to 68-75 characters.  I strongly
recommend 72 as a good default.

Thank you.

I run a T-560 and haven't figured out how to get the damned serial port
to work, period.  tpctl hasn't been a help.  I don't use the system
much, so it's not a major issue, though it's an annoyance.

Peace.
