Good to know!  I've always used supercomm simply because it's in the
nitros9 cvs and it worked well enough for testing the basic
functionality, not because there is anything particularly special
about it.  The DW4 virtual modems should work with any OS9 terminal
program, so I can update the examples etc to recommend using KBComm or
whatever if you find it to be superior.  Please let me know how things
turn out.
