I've got the chance to buy a vintage Apple III for a very low price, so I have
a few questions about it...

(1) Can it run Apple II software?
(2) What are the major differences between the Apple III and II?
(3) Can I simply plug my modem into the rs232 port and use it with a
    comm program (see below)?

And, on a related subject, are there any decent comm. programs that will run
on the Apple III?  vt100 emulation is a must.  Zmodem would be nice...

PLEASE mail replies...
