I do believe the patches or for the sacia driver. But I don't think the 
interface was needed as I never had that and I did apply the patches. 
making the buffers bigger, etc.

Kinda moot now for me, as I am pretty sure I fried my rs232 pak.  I can 
send data  out of the coco, but no receive. Hopefully I am successful 
modifying the modem pak into an rs232 pak.  Waiting for one more part I 
ordered to get here.
