HELP!!! Im not too familar with the ][+ hardware....
I am trying to setup a ][+ with a modem and terminal program so that
it can communicate with a UNIX machine.
I already have a hayes compatible modem, and I will be buying
a super-serial card, 80 column card and Ascii Express Pro.
Is that all I need??
I want to be able to run an application program which has
inverse video. Does it really matter what type of 80 column card
I need to get to work with this setup? Will Ascii Express Pro
be able to emulate a terminal reasonabily well? Like a vt100.

Like a vt100. > I am do not know about Ascii Express Pro, but Ascii Pro EZ software did not know about the single-wire-shift-key modification and hence it could display upper and lower case but send only upper case. This is extremely irritating when communicating with a UNIX machine. So it might be worth checking whether Ascii Express Pro will be able to send lower case. It should not matter too much what kind of 80 column card because they are supposed to emulate DM2500 terminals. However check the requirements of the software. An 80 col card a modem and a SSC is the only hardware you need. Shafiek Rasdien UUCP: ...!seismo!bpa!swatsun!rasdien CSNET: rasdien%swatsun.swarthmore.edu@RELAY.CS.NET
