The only way that I see that you could get the MAX1480 to echo the data
transmitted back into the receiver is that you wired the output up in
the Full Duplex mode, and then only used two wires from point-to-point.
e.g. you wired pins 18 + 19 and 17 + 20 together..
You can do that if you are attempting to do collision detection???
However, I have not found collision detection on a 485 network to be of
any value. It is more trouble than it is worth (we used a master-slave
model on the network, not a peer-to-peer).
