[Coco] Drivewire and BBS's

[Aaron Wolfe]

Is anything different if you use:

tcp connect wildcat.dynu.com 2300 <http://atdwildcat.dynu.com:2300/>

instead of the Hayes style AT command?  IIRC that will use a slightly
different mechanism on the server side for dealing with Telnet.  You may
have to enter that as the first command (i.e. with echo off.. a bit tricky
though you could turn on local echo in supercomm temporarily)

Most likely the /n port is being closed by OS9 because the PD.close or
similar control characters is in the data coming from the BBS.  It's been a
long time since I worked on DW, but that was an issue sometimes.

If you don't need terminal emulation, you could also use the 'telnet'
command that Boisy wrote.  That should be on the OS9 disk.
