Apple IIgs and Hayes modems

[gt7159b@prism.gatech.edu (Eric the Red)]

Greetings, wise ones!  :)

I have an Apple IIgs (ROM 01), that I dearly love, along with a 66
(which I don't love but seems to be necessary nowadays), and I
also have a Hayes-compatible 14.4 modem.  Amazingly enough, I have a
cable that has a 25-pin serial connector on one end and an Apple
(Macintosh) serial/printer port connection on the other end.  I'm trying
to use Appleworks GS to see if I can get the modem to do _something_ but
nothing's happening (works fine on an IBM machine, so it's not the
modem).

	When I plug in the modem, and set up the parameters in the
control panel and in AWGS itself (I've tried 2400,9600, and 19200), the
computer can't seem to find the modem (DTR is never raised, and the
modem never sees any init strings sent to it).  Does anyone out there
have the foggiest idea what to do with this thing?  My only guess is
that I need some type of "serial board" for the IIgs for the Hayes modem
to work with it.  The Macintosh runs with it just fine, but that doesn't
tell me anything.  Typing something like 'PR#2' in BASIC doesn't
accomplish anything--no lights on the modem, nothing.  I've tried about
every control panel setting I can think of.

	Also, anyone know of a text-based internet access site you can
dial into and rent an account on?  (A dial-in-and-get-a-standard-UNIX-
prompt kind of thing?)  And how I would go about getting an account on
such a system?  Thanks!
