[Coco] VCC and serial comms

[Bill Pierce]

Tony,
My current OS-9 projects use DW4 to access an FTP site to download their own software updates and install them, then restarts the new version. It's really cool to watch the Coco connect to the internet, download the updates, then restart itself. It will also download any file from an FTP as well.
I actually have much bigger plans in progress for this feature of DW4 and OS9, I just have to solve a DW4 cmd parsing problem I'm having that has rearded it's ugly head recently. I should have that fixed soon.

Yep.  OS9L2BBS, SuperComm and UUCP are all tested and pretty much work
fine.  You can provide remote OS9 shells via telnet or telnet to
remote hosts from OS9.  DW4 presents Hayes compatible modems on the
virtual devices (/N1 to /Nx depending on how many you load) so
anything can work, though some things that write directly to hardware
or use their own drivers may not without some changes.
