Subject: suggested enhancement to MODEM206

The following may sound a little over-accomodating, but here goes...

The most recent version of MODEM2 (on [mc]cpm;modem 206asm) assumes
that, in the external coupler case, the transmit and receive data ports
are identical, and that the TBE and RDA status bits occur on the same
port.  I would suggest that the most general case would be

       MODDATR EQU     01H     ;receive data port
       MODDATW EQU     02H     ;transmit data port
       MODCTLR EQU     03H     ;RDA status port
       MODCLTW EQU     04H     ;TBE status port

Then the few occurances of 'OUT MODDATP' would be changed to 'OUT MODDATW'.
While interfacing MODEM206.ASM to a friend's Dynabyte system, I discovered
that the transmit and receive data ports were actually different!  Fortunately
the TBE and RDA bits occur on the same port.  It is unusual, but it does
happen...
