[Coco] Drivewire and BBS's

[Aaron Wolfe]

Supercomm works very well with the DW virtual modem stuff.  Thats what I
used to test while I wrote the dw side.

I believe it comes on the NitrOS9 disks.  You pass the device on the
cmdline:  supercomm /N
No settings matter, it should be ready to go just by starting with that
argument.  Echo is off by default, but an ATZ will turn it on so you can
see what you're typing.
