Excellent... I managed to scrounge up a printer cable and tethered the
IIc+ to the IIgs, seems to work great at 19,200 (maximium for the c+ it
would appear)... only downside is that ProTERM seems to disable /RAM4
(shows only 31 block free and ~2043 used), so I can't just copy files
quickly to RAM as I had hoped.
Of course a 800KB diskette with a partial install of ProSel and ProTERM
still has quite a bit of room, so that likely won't be a huge problem.

I'll second that... third, I guess. ProTerm is probably the single best*
investment I ever made in a "new" Apple II product... and if this setup
works I might just send Intrec an extra $20 just for the hell of it ;-)

As far as utility goes, I'd have to give Prosel equal points... now if
someone could just combine the best points of Prosel and ProTerm and
throw in a graphics viewer like ][ Gif; the audio capability of DAC522
and PPP support, I'd probably never have to look at my Mac again ;-0
