Thanks.  I'll look for it on the board in a few days.  BTW, math is now
up to v 1.7 (Critical only if you call it from Basic or any program 
which checks the carry bit)

Paul,
  The correct way is to add a enviroment varible in your startup file.
Just add  TERMINAL_PORT /t3
 
Then reboot and from now on whenever you type "KTERM &" it will use
the enviromment varible as it's default port.
  This is explained in the docs file on how to do this

Don't you just HATE that?
 
Try booting using the old stock MM/1 boot disks. At that point, you'll 
have to load the hard drive driver and descriptor from floppy as well. 
Don't worry about the settings in the descriptor, as they will be read 
from the hard drive the first time it is read.
 
You'll need rbvccs (I think), scsi_mm1d, and an h0 or hd descriptor. 
After that, you just need to do a dir /hd. If it works, you should be 
able to recover stuff from the drive. If not, you're probably SOL.
 
TTYL. Colin.

Thanks!  I've talked a bit to Kevin Pease, and I think that when funds
allow I'll be looking for some faster RAM.

Russ,
    Do you by chance have a floppy only boot with a descriptor and driver for 
a /H0. Where /D0 would be your /DD. 

    I just cleared a problem identical to this on my CoCo3. In my case my /dd 
is my harddrive. I had the trouble with my /H0 descriptor. It would set there 
for about a half minute and come up with the same error #246. I just recentley
altered my descriptors and didn't get both of them set right. When I used 
'DMODE' on the two descriptors I found out the DNS=  was not the same on the 
two. DED saved the day again.  :)

Russ,
    I should have also mentioned to double check all the cable connections 
first.

JD> Just add  TERMINAL_PORT /t3
 
John,
 
Just out of curiousity, why don't you use MODEM rather than 
TERMINAL_PORT? It is a fairly common environment variable.
 
Also, you should add support for kterm -?. This should be easy
to add, since you already accept a port number on the command line. This 
should give minimal help, and copyright info. That would bring it into 
line with most other OSK utilities, which support this parameter.
 
TTYL. Colin.
