This sounds like a DTMF decoded routine. I suppose the test would be to see how many tones the CoCo could reliable distinguish, and how fast. Audio Spectrum Analyzer showed it could generally detect many. Interesting.

When I first started running StG Net on OS-9, I though the network transfers were not working. I saw both my TX and RX lights on at the same time on the modem. Turns out, Scott Griepentrog was just sending and receiving at the same time, something other BBSes I’d seen did not do. They’d just upload a big file, then download a file, or whatever. I thought that was brilliant.

I do recall there was a CoCo 1 terminal program that claimed to allow two people to do that (exchange at the same time).
