Well, I don't know anything about accessing Delphi with a Mac, as I use
my IIGS to access Delphi. There are currently three forums that deal with
the Apple II. If using a text based (as opposed to something like
Netscape) telecomm program, here's how to reach them:
 
A2 -           type GO COM A2 (general Apple II chatter)
A2Pro -        type GO CUS 110 (programmer talk)
II Scribe -    type GO CUS 11 (for those who write about the Apple II)
 
Whenever accessing a new online network, it's not real comfortable, as
you have to learn a whole new system. What Delphi needs is an offline
reader, like Co-Pilot for Genie. Speaking of which...
 
A week or so back, Ewen Wannop put out a call for beta testers for Crock
O' Gold. That's a Spectrum freeware add-on and although it's nowhere near
complete, it's certainly usable right now.
 
If you don't want to beta test COG, you can currently download The Delphi
Messenger, a set of scripts by Kit Graham that COG is based upon. I think
(but not 100% sure) that you can download Delphi Messenger from the II
Scribe forum. If not from there, check A2Pro. Delphi Messenger, which is
also freeware, requires Spectrum.
