Re: IIgs Modem Help
Jim,
As Nathan mentioned, you'll need a modem, a cable, and modem software. Any
external modem marketed for the Mac should be fine for use with the
IIGS...usually the cable in that box will be fine as well. If not, both
Alltech and Intrec have good high speed cables for the IIGS (as do other
companies).
See below for info on the Modem disk I distribute.
==================================================
***Modem Disk Available on 5.25" disks***
Also available on 3.5" disk* for GS and IIc+ users:
Dear Apple II user,
As a service to the Apple II community, I am now offering the disk
that has become known as Chuck Orem's Modem Starter Disk, with all of
the software you need to get started in the world of Apple II
"modeming".
(This is the same service that Chuck Orem formerly offered. I've taken
it over from him so he can devote his time to other pursuits.)
This double sided 5.25" disk contains:
Sneeze 2.1: Freeware by Karl Bunker - program launcher, txt & awp
viewer/printer, graphics viewer, utility set.
Shrinkit 3.4: Freeware by Andy Nicholas - Apple II standard
archiving/dearchiving program, utility set.
BinSCII 1.0.3: Freeware by David Whitney - Binary/Text conversion
utility (Apple II standard).
UU 1.1: Freeware by Andy Tefft - Binary/Text conversion utility
(Unix standard).
Comm.System 2.5: Freeware by Jim Ferr - Simply, easy to use
communications program that supports Xmodem
transfer and ASCII capture.
Unshrink 2.1: Freeware by Andy Nicholas - Shrinkit for II+'s,
unenhanced and/or 64k IIe's.
In archived format (Shrinkit archive, of course) Zlink - Shareware by
David Whitney - is included. Zlink is a more advanced communications
program that offers X & Ymodem transfer capability and VT-100
emulation.
Also in archived format, is ASCII Helper - Shareware by Clayburn
Juniel III, this utility helps convert text files between different
online systems by adding or removing linefeeds, carriage returns,
etc...
To take full advantage of these programs, IIe users should ensure
their machines are enhanced, with at least 128k of RAM. IIc users
should determine their ROM version by typing the following and
pressing return at the Applesoft basic (]) prompt:
] Print Peek(64447) <press return>
If a value other than 255 is returned, then your IIc has the necessary
ROM version to take full advantage of your machines telecommunication
abilities.
All original documentation files are included. Docs for BinSCII, UU
and Comm.System are in archived format due to space considerations.
Archiving them allowed me to include ASCII Helper.
