The book "Hands-On AppleTalk" by Mike Rogers and Virginia Bare (published by Brady Books, New York, 1989) mentions a public domain conferencing program called Apple Jam. Does anyone know where this software can be found? (I didn't see it on sumex-aim.) I would like to hear from people who have had some experience with this software or related packages. Presumably one can set up a conference of sorts under AppleShare or some other file server merely by designating folders for certain common discussion topics. Is this really a workable option? The specific setup that I have in mind would run the file server or conferencing software on a Mac - with users on Apple II-GS's connected via AppleTalk. Presumably the programs BROADCAST and PUBLIC-FOLDER on sumex-aim would not help me here. Or can the information distributed by these programs be accessed by machines other than Macs?
