Hi Paul.  Worked out what the problem was.  In the man page, it says \o for
an octal number, where o IS the octal number.  So, to send the YooHoo char,
I needed to put \0361.  Tricky, but it now sends the YooHoo and the entire
Hello string, then it dies.  Can you check your logs and see what's going
on?  I think that it might be a incorrect CRC, so if you could, could you
check if my CRC matches?  If not, I'll send you the version of the script
that now works (bar the suspected CRC problem) and you can see if you find
anything.  BTW, I've compiled alpha tobruk, haven't run it yet but I've
made a few minor changes to the Makefile.  It's now called Makefile (a
nuance that will probably escape you once you decompress it on your MS-DOS
or similar system) and I've included a file I found to convert the files to
Unix.  But it's all explained there is the readme, apart from the -m386 in
the COPTS of the Makefile.  That's to optimize the code for 386 systems. 
You may want to warn people if you use my modified Makefile.
