	Since I own a BOSS, it having a terminal mode is news to me. As far as
the documentation goes, there is no such thing.  What I suspect is
confusing people (those that don't own one, I presume), is that a BOSS
is capable of communications with a PC via a serial port. However, those
communications are VERY limited in scope. The purpose of them is to
allow you to up and down load the calendar, phone list, etc. in and out
of a special purpose program that resides on the PC.  The original
purpose of the serial port was to allow connecting two BOSSes together
so as to clone the info between them.
