Thanks for the tip, Rubywand. I downloaded the files, here is the URL:

http://www.gno.org/pub/apple2/prodos/comm/term/modem.mgr/

For anyone who wants more info, here's the readme:

Modem MGR is a communications program for the entire family of Apple II
computers.  It features speeds up to 19200, a full-featured text editor,
macros capability, and terminal emulation (You are able to use either
pre-defined emulation such as VT52/100/220 or define your own.)  and file
transfer capability.  Both ProDOS and DOS 3.3 versions are available; the
program will support most Apple II hardware for communications, printing,
and peripherals such as clockcards.  The ProDOS version also features
Y-and Zmodem file transfers, and a reverse buffer scroll.

As stated, this program will only access a fast modem to 19200, however
this DOES mean that modems up to 56k can be used, albeit at the slower
rate.

The full package consists of 7 disks, including a full manual for the
program in txt form.  The program disks themselves unshrink to 5.25" disks
- necessary for the DOS 3.3 version.  The ProDOS working files can of
course be used on any ProDOS-compatible media.

Modem MGR has been reclassified as Freeware by the Author, James Okubo.
