I'm trying to use my Macintosh to talk to the UNIX vax at work.  (A long-
distance call, so experimentation is expensive....)

My setup:
	IIsi 2/40, System 6.0.7
	Apple 1200 model (with a custom-built cable, since the local dealer
			       wasn't able to supple one)


1)  I have Works, which comes with a communcations program.  I configured it
	with the settings I used to use running MacTerminal
	(version 1-something) on my old 512k Mac.  Works dials the vax
	OK and gets a connection, but the vax immediately hangs up.
	[ I borrowed a second cable to make sure the cable wasn't
	 the problem and got the same behavior. 
	  I also experimented a bit with changing the settings, but
	 had no luck. ]

	So -- has anyone out there used the Works communication program
	successfully with an si?  If so, what settings are you using?
	(I don't remember what version of Works I have, but I got it
	   just a few months ago.)

2)  Is there a version of MacTerminal that works with the si?  I was
	loaned a copy of version 2.2, but it died a quick death.

3)  What communications programs DO work with the si?  White Knight
	(version ?).

4)  With my old 512k Mac and MacTerminal, I used to use xbin on the
	vax, then macput to send the result to the mac.  Will this
	method work with the other terminal programs?

Thanks for any help!
