Sawders) Distribution: usa Organization: The Zets on Ultrix @ UNIX.CIS.PITT.EDU Lines: 18 As a new user in the MAC world I am trying to learn how to use the MAC for communications via modem. Does anybody have anything that would explain what is needed in the MAC environ?? Do you have to have a Hayes compatible modem ?? We were trying a modem made by BlackBox that requires a ^E to get the attention of the modem. We tried everything under the sun and couldn't get it to work.... how do you know if you're cabled correctly ??? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. :-) Thanks in advance, - Daryl -
