Not only did AppleCat's have this simultaneous chat deal, but there
was another programm which worked with Apple Cats, Smartmodem II's, and
on other internal modem (no drivers for external, I believe) called
Teleporter. You could send messages back and forth during a dual transfer.
It was a must for 300 baud transfers. No one made a BBS using its protocol,
but I did use it quite often. I think it's dead now. I'll see if I still
have a copy. Might not be too hard to add an external modem driver....

I have an applecat (300 baud) in my closet gathering dust but it is really a te rrific modem considering its versatility! The music programmed through it is r eally good and the tone chip allows you to do some serious phreaking (although I don't).

You could send messages back and forth during a dual transfer. [snip] On comp.binaries.mac last year there was a cute little program that allowed two-way transfers and chat mode simultaneously. It was based on some kind of satellite protocol that had error-correction and compression stuff so that neither machine had to respond to the packets as they were received. (to run it, you set up two macintoshes, and entered a batch list into each. Both users hit the go button, and then were free to chat while the files transferred...) Note that this is completely in software; generic external modems. > -Greg T. -- fadden@cory.berkeley.edu (Andy McFadden) ...!ucbvax!cory!fadden
