A Large Part of the reason you got the answer you did, is that the rs232 
pack would be quite a step backwards in speed. The bitbanger can run at 
115k on a coco3, but the rs-232 pack needs hardware hacking to reach 
half that, and isn't really comfortable at 19200 baud with normal 
drivers.

So use dw to hook the coco to the pc, and let the far better equiped pc 
handle the tcp details.
