Apple ][c and ATI 2400etc/i Modem



[Please reply by e-mail to jimmonty@delphi.com.  Thank you.]
 
My daughters, ages 9 and 7, have an Apple ][c at their mother's 
house.  I've just bought a new modem for my PC and would like to give 
them the old one to install in their ][c.  It's an ATI 2400etc/i 
internal modem with V.42bis and MNP5 data compression and V.42 error 
control.  I know nothing about Apples and, because I don't have 
access to theirs, I have no way of even looking at one to compare its 
expansion slots with those of an IBM-compatible PC.
 
So my question is simply this:  will this modem `fit'?  If so, are 
there any special instructions I should send home with my kids to 
help whomever does the work to get it properly installed and 
configured?  (Unfortunately, I don't know if they have any of the 
computer's original manuals.)
 
I played _The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_ on this same Apple 
][c at least 7 or 8 years ago when it still belonged to my kids' 
maternal grandparents.  All I remember about it is that it had a 
monochrome monitor, no graphics capability, and no hard drive.  And 
it was fun!
 
Assuming they're able to get my old modem installed in their ][c, 
they will, of course, need a good telecommunications program.  The 
most important requirements are that it have complete and accurate 
VT100 (or higher) terminal emulation and that it be simple enough for 
my young daughters to learn to use.  And it must be small enough to 
run off a 5.25" diskette.  Can anyone recommend a good shareware 
terminal program for the Apple ][c?
 
Thanks for your comments and suggestions.
