I have to disagree!! I use Access II on my IIC to do work on the Mainframe systems here at Bell Labs. I use VT100 emulation and I have no problems using VI and EMACS on screen editors (witness this posting). Are you sure you were using Access II V1.1?? Version 1.0 had many bugs (if you are a registered owner, this update is free). And oh yes, control-h works just fine for me... did you forget to use the open-apple key (page 166 in the Users manual)? > File transfers, > however, are quite reliable.

I could find no mention of "xmodem" protocol in the Access II users manual. It does give a nice high level description of Ward Christensens' transfer protocol (xmodem). > Dcom is much better.

Don't know about Dcom but my Access II will autodial (using Hayes AT commands) and then I automatically log on, using a "command" file. I also do this when I access GEnie and several bulletin boards. I believe Access IIs biggest drawback is lack of a internal text editor. Otherwise it works great and is reasonably priced. -- ..ihnp4!ihlpa!terry2 **** Terry Nelson **** "All this is GEnie Mail: Terry2 * AT&T Bell Laboratories * because of me * Naperville, Illinois * and not my Keep It Warm.... ************************** employer??!"

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get access II to recognize my
Applemate 1200 internal modem in a IIe in slot 5 instead of slot 2.

I am also interested in RELATED information, specifically: Can I get AccessII
to address my super serial card in slot 5. I have a Passport MIDI card
that is most commonly addressed in slot 2 by default. I wince everytime
I have to open the cover and handle the cards to swap slots.

I recently got ain in-the-box copy of Apple Access II as part of a package deal, and I really have no use for it. Anyone have any ideas on how much I could get for it (if I posted a for sale notice on usenet)? Think $30 would be possible? (if anyone reading this has an interest, fine, but I'm not officially selling it yet. There's some other stuff I'll want to sell too). -- Andy Tefft art100@psuvm.psu.edu
