Hi Scott!

Fred ships the PT with only 4 wires connected to the serial connectors. You
will have to add a lead from pin 1 (of J11, J12, J21, J22 on the board) to pin
8 of the appropriate serial connector.  If you call Fred, he'lll send you a set
of jumpers.  Make up your serial cable straight through except reverse pins 2 &
3 on one end.

I only use STERM for CIS - I use sterm -f /t3
 t3 is my modem port, -f tells CIS to use B+ protocol for file transfers.

re UUCP/USENET

Read James Jones answer to you. Mark Griffith is working on a port of UUCP for
the CoCo.  When he's finished, I think he plans on porting it to OSK.

There is a version of UUCP already ported to OSK.  This was done by the TOP
Group in Munich, Germany.  I haven't gotten it to work and I don't know anyone
in the US who has.  Documentation is sketchy and written partly in German.  The
source code is not available.  TOP UUCP is part of a set of 15 discs.  This is
their Release 2.  In addition to UUCP, they include some games (which I haven't
tried) and lots of neat utilities which I do use. They also include a new
'Bourne' shell (I haven't tried it yet but I do use their older 'C' shell which
is great).

This software is public domain.  I've agreed to help distribute them in the US.
I can send you a set if you want for $50.00 (to cover copying costs, shipping,
etc).  I can provide them on 3 1/2 or 5 1/4 discs.  The format is MIZAR (some
of the discs will not fit on standard OS9).  In your /dd/CMDS/BOOTOBJS
directory, you should have a driver 'x0' which is the MIZAR driver.  Use that
or dmode /d0 and set tos to 0010.
