The problem from what you are describing is not with the PP at all. It is your command structure. You must have a conflicting command start. Scrub though your command list and look for assignments that start with: two digit -84 and/or three digit -840/841 etc. Asterisk always runs with the first match. If the is a 2 digit command 84, anything else starting with 84 will never execute. (It will always execute 84 command not 84x, 84xx, 84xxx, 84xxxx) . I often warn everyone to organize their command list in numeric order so you don't do such a thing. If you find one, you can convert it to a non-conflicting 4 digit command and you are fine.

The commands you created in rpt.conf is the definition. Use them directly or in a macro for complex function.

I have read the manual... and every website I can find dealing with this and I cannot make it work. I don't know what I am missing but there is something. Just for a sanity check, I built a LED circuit and connected it to the parallel port. If I set it to "pp2 = out0" in simpleusb.conf the LED is not lit. If I change it to "pp2 = out1" the LED is lit so I know the port is working. For whatever reason, I cannot control those pins from DTMF or sent from IAXRPT.
This is from rpt.conf:

<snip>
8401 = cop,61,pp2=0 8402 = cop,61,pp3=0 8403 = cop,61,pp4=0 8404 = cop,61,pp5=0 8405 = cop,61,pp6=0 8406 = cop,61,pp7=0 8407 = cop,61,pp8=0 8408 = cop,61,pp9=0
8411 = cop,61,pp2=1 8412 = cop,61,pp3=1 8413 = cop,61,pp4=1 8484 = cop,61,pp5=1 8415 = cop,61,pp6=1 8416 = cop,61,pp7=1 8417 = cop,61,pp8=1 8418 = cop,61,pp9=1
Maybe I am misunderstanding the way to setup and use the commands. My understanding is that I should be able to just dial *8411 and set pp2 to 1?
Thanks
