You can use a null-modem adapter to connect the IIc's modem cable to a Mac
modem cable. Or, if you have an Imagewriter II printer cable for your IIc,
you can use that. Just connect the printer end to your Mac's serial port.

You can use ProTerm on the IIc, and a comm program such as Zterm on the Mac.
Start out with 2400 bps until you see it's working, then you can try to up
the speed some.  It's working if you type stuff on one computer and it
appears on the comm program's screen on the other.
