Does anyone have a fax/modem card or box? Which is more preferrable for a Mac II? that is internal vs external. Which companies make reliable fax/modem cards/boxes? What is the best deal I can get by mail ordering? 2. At school, I have o problem downloading files (text, binary, or macbinary) from unix to a Mac IIci at 19200 baud using Zmodem and a digital phone. However, when I try to upload files, I keep getting errors and no information was actually sent. I tried to upload .dvi files created by OzTeX 1.2. I then realized that I need to stuffit and binhex it into a text file. so I did. But the same problem persisted. I would sz file from zterm 0.85, the appropriate box would appear on screen but nothing gets transferred. Is this a bug with the unix implementation of sz? Or I am setting the wrong parameters in Zterm 0.85. Thnaks for the help. Please e-mail me at bmwu@athena.mit.edu.
