Re: file transfer: Mac PowerBook <-> IIc+

You need to put the one modem in initiate mode and the other in answer 
mode within a few seconds so they handshke and negotiate a connection.

On computer, get to the communications terminal in both programs.  Type 
ATX3D(Enter) on one and ATA(enter) on the other within a few seconds.

The AT is a modem intercepted attention command to tell it more commands 
follow, the X3 tells the modem not to look for a dial tone when dialing, 
and D tells the modem to dial or initiate a connection.  The A tells it 
to immediately pick up the line and initiate in answer protocall.  (Squeal)

When the modems get done chattering, you will have a connection 
established.  Use the terminal programs to transfer your files.

Thanxk,
Ed

Note: It is possible to have a modem immediately dial/answer when you 
turn it on, (short haul mode) but I'll leave you to look up those commands.
