The latest CP/M release is shipped with the DRI CP/M Plus (tm) manual and
utilities disk, which you can order by returning the order form you received
with your system.  Please note this is a one-shot deal, and that the version
which supports RS-232 will not be available until *beta* cycle is complete.
Until then, a patch program is available on Compuserve, QuantumLink, etc. as
you have indicated (of course there is a disclaimer...).  I'll try and let
the net know when a new release is finally available and how to get it.
