Hi,
 first you need a bit more than a cable. I could be wrong on this
depending  on how and what you connect to on the IIgs. An apple talk
conectors a small box with what some reffer as a small pig tail to plug
into the modem or printer port. The apple talk box at the other end has 2
female sockets built in to conect the other apple talk items.
  Phone Net has the same thing, except that you can use a standard phone
cable to connect the computers thur there apple talk like box. Apple's and
Phone Nets's and other look almost the same. Except the Phone net has a
resistor to put at the end and beginning of the chain in one of the female
sockets. You would need a shell account from what I have read to get on the
internet for the IIgs
