Coco as unix terminal

Hi all,

Another one of my 'bright ideas'..

is it possible to use the Coco to connect to a unix box (ie FreeBSD, linux,
etc) and use it as a remote terminal?

would this have to be done via serial connection, or is another connect
method available?

(anyone considered a way to send serial-style data over wireless? I'd love
to 'amaze my friends' with this 8-bit coco that can magically access the
internet using lynx etc from my linux box :P )

Ponderances, anyone?

David

Serial is the easiest way. No ethernet for coco yet. You can even use
the built-in bitbanger port if you don't need really high speeds. But
for best results you should use a rs232 plug-in card.

There are serial->wireless adapters available: bluetooth, IrDA.
Depending on how much you want to spend you will either have to write a
lot or no code on the coco side.

There was also some talk of hooking a USB controller to Coco, but I
don't think there's any activity in that direction right now. (see
microusb.org for how they did it on the Atari). There are lots of USB ->
wireless solutions, which is why I bring it up.

Re: Coco as unix terminal

Is there any known maximum length for a properly-shielded standard serial
cable?

The standard says 50'.  I am sure you can get away wit more depending 
on the data rate you are using.  I have had no problems in the past 
with using a 25 conductor ribbon cable serial cable 50' in length at 
19200.

It's expensive.  Ethernet terminal server.  Hook the Coco with a serial 
cable, terminal server connects to other machines with ethernet, can be 
twisted pair or plugged into a wireless router.

I just use regular serial connections.  I'm a cheap BOfH.

But not much I can do till there's hardware. James has a good start
though.

So many interesting things to work on, so little time...

This recent talk about the OS-9 C compiler and it's pieces made  me
remember a question I had for the list...

What are all the newest  parts of a complete OS-9 dev. system?  I'll
list what I can think of  off the top of my head:

asm (part of NitrOS-9)
rma6309  (commercial)
rlink
cc2 (there are several of these to choose  from)
c.pass1
c.pass2
c.comp
c.opt
c.opt2 (anyone have any good  optimizer patterns for this?)
<snip>

You should also have my CNoY, which slips in between c.comp (or c.pass2)  and 
c.opt, and gets rid of Y-relative addressing modes.  Makes for more  
efficient code to be run on a Coco3, OS9L2 ONLY (not Level One, where everything  
really does have to be PC relative).

It's been speculated that C.Opt2 could be patterned to do this, as well as  
de-SEX every operation involving a char/byte variable.

CNoY is available on RTSI.  I have the source handy, in case I never  put

I really don't remember, but best guess is I got it from Kevin Pease,

It would certainly have been sold or provided as a free upgrade to
