Jon,
	In January we (at my previous job) received a double density Osborne 
and I downloaded OTERM from MIT-MC.  I didn't see anything in the documentation
that distinguished between the single and double density Osbornes and OTERM
worked beautifully on it.  At MIT-MC it's in the Osborne/CPM directory.  
CPM:AR41, I think.

	I also downloaded MODEM but discarded it for three reasons.  Some of
our people wanted it to echo the keyboard for half duplex operation.  Second,
I could not get it working at 300 Baud.  I didn't look into this problem
very deeply, but instead used the problem as additional justification for
a 1200 Baud modem.  Finally, OTERM is just more flexible.
