Eh?  MacTerm and the Prodigy software run great under A-Max on my B2000 and
Zoom modem (just booked a flight through Prodigy.)  Terminal programs work
fine (although I'm not sure why.  :-) )  However, David is correct in that
Appletalk, MIDI and sound programs don't function under the current version
of A-Max.  Ads for A-Max II claim that Appletalk and sound programs will work
when it is released this fall.
