[Coco] Drivewire and BBS's

[Ron Klein]

Hi Aaron,

OK, that explains my issue.  :)  It's a shame as Twilight Term looks to be
a decent program.  I never used it back in the day as I left the Coco just
as the Coco 3 was arriving.

I know Brett has this working under Fuzix as well.  I will try using
NitrOS9 with the commands you specified.  Any good term programs you can
recommend?  I think Barry Nelson had one he made that may work.

Thanks again!

-Ron
