I think the man you're answer is aimed at is Gene Heskett.  I'm well 
aware that my pak was designed to replace a long serial cable.  But, 
let's not underestimate the power of software.  "simply a serial 
cable replacement" means nothing at all to a power coder like 
me.  The pak is the heart of a wireless network system for the CoCo, 
that which is being born right now.

It's an excellent choice for it's job of giving us a wireless RS-232 
Pak.  I couldn't be more happy with the results.
