There are other tools available, but not quite as many as one might like.
The Hayes Modem Tool is in the comm directory on sumex.

As far as file transfer tools, SeaQuest Software has a Kermit tool available
at this time. I have used it extensively and find it reliable. I just received
a new version with quite a few enhancements. SeaQuest is also working on
an improved XModem tool, a YModem, and a ZModem tool. However, these have
been under development for a long period of time so I hesitate to predict
when they might become available. SeaQuest is at 1-503-645-2282.

I have also heard that Pacer (?) has come out with a ZModem tool, but I
don't know any details.

I had this problem with NCSA Telnet on the Macintosh and with Stuart 2.0 on
the NeXT computer.  I solved it by putting the following in my .login:

	if ( $term != t10 ) then
		set noglob; eval `resize`; unset noglob
	endif

This C shell code first makes sure that I'm not on a Teleray, which
misinterprets the codes that resize sends, and then it runs the resize command
(I think resize comes with X, but it works even if you're not running X at the
moment), and finally it transmits the output of the resize command to the
terminal.  Type ``man resize'' for more information.

This way I don't need to hard code any screen size at all, but let the computer
figure out what the screen size should be.

Does Apple's ethernet card for the LC work with LC II? I've tested one card
and it didn't work (the LC II didn't even boot with it), but I can't imagine
that Apple has invented yet another PDS slot. I can't see any reason why it
shouldn't work (and if there is any then surely Apple could have 
designed the card correctly in the first place).

To go to a DB-25 DCE external modem (most non-mac external modems) a
straight-through serial cable will work.  To go to an Imagewriter II,
a "Mac Plus to Imagewriter I" cable should do it-- plug the
Imagewriter I end into the Lisa and the other end into the Imagewriter II.

I tried to send files via zmodem today with Microphone II 4.0

I am using a SE/30 with its built in screen.

The dialog box for the send file, appears to big for the
screen. I was not able to select the type of file transfer
I wanted (Zmodem) within the dialog.

I had Zmodem selected in the settings/Protocal Transfer dialog
but it still used xmodem.

I had to write a short script to send the file.

Is this a FAP (freq. asked problem)?

Is this a bug?

Any hints on resizing the dialog? Use Resedit???

Thanks.

In this way other users with AppleShare can access the NFS drive via the
AppleShare server, and if everything is Ethernet-ed the speed might be
acceptable.

	On a similar note, has anyone used file sharing with System 7 to
publish an NFS mounted volume?

I've received a number of mail messages asking me to post to the net 
information about the features of this modem.

For transferring data it has all the same features as the Supra modem
that we see so many messages about. What sets it apart is the software
that is included. The modem comes with all the needed cables,
MacKnowledge software and the new MaxFax software. All for $499.00

With MaxFax your Mac can double (triple?) as a Fax machine and answering
machine. The ring for a Fax is different from voice so it will automatically
go into receiving fax mode. If it is a voice ring then the caller will get
the main greeting.  During the greeting the caller can dial the code for
a mailbox and then gets that mailbox's greeting.  It can then proceed to
leave a message in that mailbox or dial another code that will allow it
to hear other messages in the mailbox.  It can navigate through the mailbox
to replay/delete messages.  Many things can be configured on a per
mailbox basis. You can specify the maximum message length, if the
caller is allowed to delete messages, if it should replay only unheard
messages, if the greeting can be changed remotely, etc.

Mailboxes can also be set to be fax mailboxes instead of voice.
This allows someone who called from a phone that really wanted to
send a fax to hear the greeting. The greeting can tell you something
like "if you want to leave a fax dial 77#..." which is the code of a
fax mailbox.

The greetings can be imported from a sounedit file, or you can use any
of the sound input devices to record them or change them by dialing
in yourself (if it is allowed in the mailbox options). You can even take
a message that was received and make that a greeting (i.e., a sound file
is a sound file is a sound file). You also specify the quality of sound
to be recorded. The better the qualify (sampling frequency) the more
space the file takes.

I have it set up such that the mailbox code is the number of the
person calling.  So now all I need is for caller-id features to select
the right mailbox automatically.

If you don't care about the voice, the Fax features are also very
complete. With scheduling, background conversion of faxes, a
menu item to fax from any application without having to go to the
Chooser to change your printer selection, etc.

Someone asked if it was available for DOS machines. Don't know
but call Prometheus (800-477-3473) and get the full story.

So far I'm very happy with it.

I've come upon 2 Microcom QX/4232hs high speed modems and have some

   1. What kind of modem cable do I need & where do I get one? I've
        heard my regular serial cable to my 2400 baud modem won't
        work for high speed modems.

   2. Software recommendations?? I currently use MacTerminal, Tincan 5.0

         home Mac IIci to my office localtalk network ), and Compuserve
         Navigator. Most of these have software options for 19600 but
         Microcom QX modem hardware manual seems to indicate you should
         set computer for max speed of 38,400. How do I do that?

    Any other suggestions? I'm just starting out with high speed modems
   - only using 2400 baud right now. What else do I need to know? THANKS!

We have set up a product called MacLan gateway, currently using a 286. It
provides us with the following functionality:

1. Using the 286 as a file server for the Mac network using AppleShare. The
   286 has the LocalTalk PC card in it.

2. The 286 is attached to an Ethernet PC network on the other side, and it
   provides gateway access between the two networks. We have also set up
   AppleShare offerings on the PC file servers. This gateway access is the
   primary reason we use this product.

3. An option of the MacLan software we have not purchased is printer sharing
   between the two environments.

MacLan is available from Miramar Software of Santa Barbara, CA.

For what it's worth, I called BFJ today.  They have shipped a grand 
total of 24 Supra v.32bis modems and have over 400 on back-order.
Current asking price is $289;  they are now accepting orders on a
"charge-it-when-shipped" basis.  This price is for the bare modem.

The sales person told me that he had called Supra this week after

plenty of chipless modems ready to ship when Rockwell comes through.
