Same here Mike.  But then things got faster, and I ran supercomm on 
one end, term-v4.7 on the amiga end, and could do automatic zmodem 
transfers either way at 9600, actually getting about 700 cps.  zmodem 
is slow (on the coco) shall we say?  That was with nitros9, stock 
6809 based coco's can only do about 450 cps before they drop cts and 
stop the amiga for a second to catch up.  Supercomm being the only 
coco term program that I'm aware of that can handle the automatic 
part of zmodem.
