Hi Jim... I have also run a null modem cable to my CoCo to transfer stuff.
Sterm receives from Osterm fine, but won't Xmodem sent to the Coco. It will
send text files to osterm by ascii send, but I have to drop to 2400 baud, or
the Coco loses too many chars. I tried some of my biggest GIFs, and found I
have to use the -l (low-res) option to display them with only 1 Meg. The
display is a little better than the CoCo's, without the annoying flicker that
ViewGif did to get more colors. Wonder what they'll look like when I've get 3
Megs?... I hear that the machine will speed up when I get the I/O board and
more mem. Sure hope so - not that it's slow, but every bit of extra speed
helps. I think the main reason it seems slow to me now is that I'm not used to
waiting for floppies...
