I have all my old A2-Central disks on a single disk image for use with 
Bernie and had already searched for any filenames containing SmartPort 
but found none. I just had another look, searching by content this time, 
and found a reference to SmartPort.Play, described as a SmartPort Peeker, 
in the "Last time in A2-Central-on-disk" section of the March 1993 
newsletter. The strange thing is I don't have the February 1993 disk, 
disk image or physical, yet I had a subscription during this period and 
have the disks before and after it. <sigh>

Some time later... OK, I found The SmartPort Commander at <ftp://apple2.
caltech.edu/pub/apple2/8bit/patches/smartport.shk> which looks like the 
program we were both originally thinking of. Originally written by Tom (
Weishaar?) and appearing in Open-Apple.
