So am I Roy.  But sometimes an outsize ego gets in the way, and I won't put 
names on them cuz mine is pretty good sized too when the subject gets into 
something I've walked around in.  I think you can probably testify about 
that, so I generally sit back and watch the kids play. ;-)  Either way, we 
have something that wasn't available before.  I would like to see some 
compatibility maintained, but even that will sort itself out eventually 
because the best product for one, isn't always going to be the best for 
another.

And thats the best reason I can think of to not mess with mess, there is a 
real live coco3 with a 63C09 & 2 megs of ram in it that is just a session of 
minicom and  about 20 feet of cable away in the basement.

Humm, but now I'm not running as root, and I need to change the perms on 
/dev/ttyS# stuff.  It won't let gene access it. Paranoid %^$@&&.  That will 
get fixed shortly...
