I haven't touched an Apple in about 2 years, so I'm afraid that I've
gotten a bit out of touch. If someone could help me get up to speed by
answering some questions I'd really appreciate it.
I've now got an Apple //e, Duo disk drive, 64K and another 64K on the
80 column card and a Panasonic printer. I've ordered an internal
"Hayes Command Compatible" modem, with the option to return in 30 days.
Questions are:
1) What's a communications program that's cheap? For
example, does Kermit exist for the //e? Is there anything that
supports XMODEM file transfers? I don't need a lot of fancy stuff,
but I'd like to XMODEM files to CompuServe and kermit them to a VAX.
2) I was vaguely aware that an upgrade came out for the //e that
gave it the extras that the //c has, but at the time I didn't have
a //e. Can anyone tell me if it's necessary (i.e. is new software
not going to run on an unenhanced machine?), and roughly what it
costs?
3) How does one tell whether or not a modem is "good"? This one
they said ran on all commercial software they had tried with the
exception of ASCII Express--is this good or bad?
Any and all responses, hints and tips would be appreciated via mail, and
if I get some replys I will summarize to the net.
