[comp.sys.mac] Direct Modem Transfers

ez000453@deneb.ucdavis.edu (Colin Ong) (02/20/90)

I have one modem attached to my Mac and one inside my PC. How do I transfer
files between the two. I have VersaTerm Pro for my Mac and ProComm on my PC.
I know that I should be able to transfer files by Kermit but how do I get
the two machines to even realise that they are connected? Thanks.

You should get MacLink+ if you plan on tranfering files (other than
ASCII) between the two machines.  It's a performer!  Also, it's
AFE-compatible, so you can use your FDHD if you have one and do direct
tranfers.  If you want to do straight ASCII then it's no sweat.  Just
hook 'em both up (via phone-to-phone, or RS-232 serial) and have one
'dial' and one 'receive'.  Then send/receive just like you do normally!
