   Well, you can do it the hard, slow way, or you can do it the easy,
fast way- with my Modem Manager toolset.  Many people have used my toolset
to near complete satisfaction.
   It pulls some (in my knowledge) unprecedented tricks to get super speed
out of the serial firmware (DTS knows about this hack, BTW, although they've
not set up the system so it's official yet).
   It supports sending and receiving characters and blocks of data, does
automatic checksums and CRC checks, has 'Alarm' timer routines so you can
count your communications in tenths of seconds, and it's always getting
better.
   You can use it from C, 65816 assembly, or Pascal (TML and Orca).
It's trivial to set up and use.

   It's available on tiberius.cs.uiuc.edu (128.174.240.8) in the apple2/
directory.  Shareware, $20.
