I'm just about to run out the door to leave for a weekend caribbean
cruise,  so it will be early next week before I can finish that part.
I did get outbound connections from the CoCo to the internet running
last night (connected my Coco to a BBS for the very first time, been
wanting to do that for about 25 years :).  The code I used for that is
similar to the reverse, I will mail directly to you in case you want
to adapt it in the meantime.
