You don't want to use the software built into the RS-232 pack. There 
should be a copy of Ultimaterm on RTSI. If you can't find it, let me 
know and I'll send you a copy. That is a good terminal package for Disk 
Basic use.

Ultimaterm and Hyperterminal both using x-modem is acceptable but not 
perfect. Coco to PC is great but PC to Coco hangs with large files.


When I get the registration code for OmniFlop, I'll be able to test it 
and may be able to help you using it.
