I've had way too much on the plate at once the past 12 months, so 
CoCoNet had to wait.

My plans were to get it released this fall/winter, even if it means 
releasing the source code into the Public Domain.  Even if it sells 
70 copies, that's 200+ other CoCo users that couldn't play the game, 
so to speak.  The idea is to let anybody with a CoCo serial to PC 
cable, a 6551-based pak, the Forgotten Chip mod, etc. to use CoCoNet 
to talk over the web, using a nearby PC of course.  The Deluxe 
Wireless pak just makes it better because there's no wires and the 
CoCo can be moved around the house or shop with instant "internet 
access".  But I need to make it clear that CoCoNet at this time adds 
only a handful of fundamental routines that BASIC programmers then 
use a base in their own web-based apps.
