There are several terminal packages available that will let you use the
CoCo 3 running 1200 baud from the back of the computer (no RS232 pak).
One of these, COLOR CONNECTION IV from Computerware, also lets you use
the RS232 pak to use baud rates of up to 9600.  With any multipak that
works, this program and the 232 pak will work.  Also, while I haven't
tried it, I understand the public domain program GREGGYTERM will let
you use true 1200 baud from the computer on the CoCo 3.  Both CC IV and
Greggyterm let you use the 40 & 80 column screens, and both have XMODEM.
CC IV also has CompuServe B protocol built-in.
 
I'm currenlty working with someone to try to bring out a terminal emulator
that will let you hook up to practically any mainframe.  It runs under OS-9
and will probably require the 232 pak.
