Communications Cache - Asimov Additions (09.08.12), 24 images uploaded

Greetings,

I ran through my images of terminal/modem software and came up with the following to upload.  Too bad there's no emulation for a Novation AppleCat modem (apparently).  There was a lot of software circulating that did interesting things with it, and it was the defacto modem to have for so long (I still have mine).  It's hard to explore much of this software without running it on a real system, not all of which requires dialing out.

BLACK_MARKET_EXPRESS_4.1_f.dsk - takes a while for it to start.  Written by Night Owl.  I believe this is a terminal program for an AppleCat.

CAT-CLOCK_II_f.dsk - written by Apple Bandit, uses an AppleCat for a clock.

CAT-FUR_2.2A.dsk - there's Cat-Fur 2.0 and Cat-Fur 2.2A Enhanced; this is Cat-Fur 2.2A.  I've forgotten what the difference is, but this has Transend on it at least.

CAT_CONNECTION_2.5.dsk - two versions, written by William the Kracker. 
CAT_CONNECTION_2.6.dsk

CAT_HACKER_3.7_f.dsk - by Blackdog and The Exterminator.  Program for searching codes.

CAT_SOURCECODE_WAREZIRD_f.dsk - BBS driver sourcecode from The Warezird.

CAT_UTILS(Warezird).dsk - collection of AppleCat utilities compiled by The Warezird. Includes: Cat Scan 4.0; Cat-Format; Cat-Hacker; Catsend 2.0 and 3.0; Pixterm 3.0, 4.0, and 4.1; The Sprinting Cat; Zipterm 1.0.

DELIGHTFUL_DIALER.dsk - from MiniAppler.  There's an image up on Asimov, but not the fonts disk, so I'm including both that I have as a matched pair.
DELIGHTFUL_DIAL_FONTS.dsk

DISK-FER_f.dsk - by the Red-Headed Freak.  I couldn't find this on Asimov, which surprised me, since this was a staple for a long time.  Also includes Disk-Fer II+ (a later update).

MEGAMUSIC_3.0.dsk - by Dr. Crunch.  Play music through your AppleCat (or Apple speaker).

MEGAPHREAK_2.0.dsk - by The Ubiquitous Hacker.  This is 2.0 Beta-J actually.  (There's a later version on Asimov.)

MEGATERM_2.0.dsk - by Matthew Dornquast.  A copy of version 3.0 is on Asimov, but I'm including all three versions I have (the BBS listings are different).
MEGATERM_3.0.dsk
MEGATERM_5.1.dsk - includes a list of the last BBS systems I used to call (I think).

MOUSETALK_V1.30.dsk - nice terminal program that uses mouse-text in an enhance //e.

MUS_O_MANIA_2.0.dsk - from The Mystic, another program for playing music through an AppleCat.  Also has a voice synthesizer.  Oh what the AppleCat could do...

PROTERM_1.9P.dsk - I see version 2.0 on Asimov; this is older.

TEKTERM.dsk - another terminal program.  By L. Fish, 1982.  Not sure what modem this is for.

TELEPORTER(vol04_6502only).2mg - Sensible Software, by TC Computer Systems, 1983.  Version 2.7, 7/20/83.  Seems to be a file transfer program.

THE_CATS_ROAR_f.dsk - written by The Tempest.  Another program for making sounds via the AppleCat modem.  This one specializes in phone sounds.

THE_HOME_CONNECTION.dsk - by W.R. Shaw, 1985 microseeds.  Polarware from Penguin. Terminal program.

TIMETERM_f.dsk - written by the Disassembler, 2/2/86.
