Chris - 

The sources for Kermit 1.6 are pretty large, and constitute a major
package. You can get them a number of ways:

a) OS9 Users Group Library Disk
b) Compuserve OS9 Forum (in DL7)
c) I could email them (prefer to avoid this)

The 128k Coco3 under level II might be a tight squeeze for doing C
compilation .. not sure. I use a one megabyte GIMIX for most of
my development, and also have a 512k coco3/LII.

Re: use of the bit banger.. highly unreliable as is. Also, the idiotic
designers designed the input character interrupt logic backwards on
the bit-banger.. they made it interrupt on the *rising* edge, not the
falling edge (for start bit detection). Some hackery both software and
hardware could straighten that out, but best bet (really!) is to get a
real serial board (the OWLWARE super-board, disto, RS-232 pak, PBJ-2sp
pak, etc.)
