Ed, thanks for the info... I'm hoping to have my IIc+ set up in the
living room, but I don't really want boxes of diskettes all over the
place, so I'm looking for an "easy" way to transfer files to and from
either my IIgs or IIe in the basement. I was thnking to have a boot disk
for the IIc+ with Proterm and Shrinkit and then use the 1 Meg RAM card
as a RAM disk for temporary program storage.
Is there any advantage to using null-modem vs modem-to-modem? Other than
the cost of wiring...
Maybe I'm trying to complicate matters by running a BBS as a server...
would it be possible to use Proterm on both ends and be able to download
files to the IIc+??? I'm fairly sure Proterm supports null-modem
connections, but I've really never used it for much more than telnet and
calling BBSs.
