Unfortunately, the terminal mode won't help you.  It's a "dumb
terminal," meaning the information you recieve only goes to the screen
or printer (much like a Telex or Teletype machine, if you know what
that is).

Also, if you have an external modem for either the Mac or PC, you have
a modem for the //c.  Just find the right cable, and remember that
some //cs have problems with speeds above 9600.
