The thing that makes the Super Serial Card "super" is the triagular
block on the card that has to be set pointed one way for printer and
the other for modem (I haven't my manual at the office nor a real SSC
to peek at, so someone else will have to tell you which way to point
the triangle if it ain't obvious).

Softerm doesn't care what switches are switched as it uses polling (doesn't
care about interrupts) and addresses the port directly (doesn't care about
the firmware or other switch settings).

Kermit cares that SW2-6 (switch 6 on the second block) is ON (interrupts
enabled).  All of the other settings are altered by the application software
(Kermit) so they don't matter (so set switch 6 "ON" on both blocks and then
it won't matter if you can't tell SW1 from SW2 :-)
