Browsing the messages on an Osborne 1a through a WiFi modem.  Osborne is runningCP/M 2.2 and terminal program is either Kermit-80 or MDM7.22 COM file (Don't
know the author of that software).

Osborne has single sided drives - only 91k space per diskette.  Serial cable
oonly has RX TX and GND wires, 2400 baud.  I restored the machine several years
ago.  Found double-sided disk images of single-sided disks online so I had to 
open the DS image and save it as a SS image, buy a GoTek floppy drive emulator,
make the custom cable and use the emulator as drive A to write the image to an
actual diskette in the restored aligned drive B.  What a journey!  Big thanks
to everyone who posted guides online for setting up the GoTek emulator.
