Mike I was thrilled when I found outI could strap on a terminal on my serial
port and have a multi-user system. I really did it just to see what it was
like, I don't have a need for a multi-user environment, but I like to to the PC
people, and MAC peopleI work with. The only problem I had (I used a WYSE 50
terminal) when I hooked up the terminal was that when I typed a cr and certain
other characters, my shell locked up. I tried emulating (thorugh the terminal
only) all the different types of terms the WY-50 could, and some were worse
than others. But It was

an interesting experience. Multi-user, multi-tasking on a computer that is just
a little over o foot long, and costs $128-$200. That aint no TRASH-80 ! Can't
wait for the MM1, and this new version of OS9 for the coco3. I'll be bragging
like theres no tomorrow. There are several people I work with (all software
engineers) that want to see my coco3 system now. But I am trying to hold off
and wait for the new os-9 package, so It will really blow there socks off.
