[Coco] Supercomm fails to load on NitrOS9 lvl 2 on my CoCo 3 with 128K, and a couple of other questions?

[Bill Pierce]

Robert, Yes, Supercomm apparently overrides the hard coded descriptor used internally when there is a descriptor on the cmd line.
Also, I am using the version of Supercomm from the NitrOS9 repo, not the original from the archives. I'm not sure if there's a difference or if the Nitro version has been modified for this.
I have been logging onto online BBSs from my Coco for almost 2 years now, so yes, I know this works. I am not the only one. Several others use Supercomm for dw4/telnet communications.
In fact, I just checked the Supercomm 2.2a documentation and this is the cmd line usage:

SuperComm [port] [f=pathlist] [buffersize]

  port            Optional port specification. SuperComm defaults to /t2
  f=pathlist      Opens a capture buffer on startup. 
 -f=pathlist      Set up (but don't open) a capture buffer. (See Buffer Capture, in the File Transfer Menu)
  buffersize      Expands the buffer beyond the default size of 2K. This applies to all downloads, not just the capture buffer.

It defaults to "/t2" but cmd line will override the default. So apparently, it's always been that way.

DriveWire4 has a "builtin" modem emulation and will connect to online "telnet"
BBSs and other telnet services. Under NitrOS9 dw or becker (with internet
connection on the dw4 server) just type:

Bill,

Have you tried this with supercomm? That program has /t2 hard
coded  so there is 
a chance you can't use /n.
