Dear Readers!

	I have heard of some problems using `mmon` with a modem
	line and variable speed. The OS9 implementation have to
	support the change of the baud rate fter initializing
	the device. If the implementation doesn't support this
	`mmon` can't change to another rate even it has recognized
	the new speed. If I would deinitialize the device after
	speed detection then change the baud rate wouldn't work
	cause the driver should drop DTR on deinitializion and
	the modem hangs up. Well, you can tell the modem that
	DTR is always high but then `mmon` can't use DTR to hang
	up when it is necassary.

	MMon can't run if you start mmon from a program which has
	one of the three pathes 0,1 or 2 closed.

	If you use the feature of `termtypes` in logon then you
	have to insert for each line logon should be started on
	an entry, otherwise a bus error may occure.

If you are using a 6809 OS-9 computer, there is a version of tsmon and tsgo 
that is auto-baud sensing, and includes versions for the normal and r
extended Hayes command sets.  I found it on GEnie in the OS-9 area.  I don't 
know if this can be hacked to do whatever it is you are after, but it would be 
a start.
