I've been offered a job which requires the use of a PC clone. I plan to purchase a cheap 286-386 clone to connect to my MAC (via cable) so I can run PC programs. So I need a good DOS terminal emulation program for the MAC, so far I have only heard of MacChuck. I would also like to communicate with a remote PC via modem. Suggestions?

It is supposed to work with any PC/PC clone/PS2, and they have a network version that's supposed to work over an AppleTalk network. I can't find the flier they sent me, but if you mail me I'll mail you back some more information. PC Anywhere runs on the PC or clone, and PC-MacTerm runs on your Mac. --- Alex UUCP: {att,backbones}!ucbvax!qal.berkeley.edu!lauac INTERNET: lauac%qal.berkeley.edu@ucbvax.berkeley.edu FIDONET: Alex.Lau@bmug.fidonet.org (1:161/444)

Actually, any good terminal emulation program will do. On the clone, you can reroute the console to a serial port with the DOS CTTY command. On the Mac, you can use Kermit 9(40) which runs fine under multifinder. For remote PC operation, you could run Procomm Host on the PC and dialup the clone with Kermit 9(40) on the Mac. Procomm Host allows password and DOS shell protection as well

We have used PC MacTerm very successfully by hooking up the PC with an ordinary null modem (it should work also with real modems) cable. However, none of the graphics modes are supported. The screen emulation is pretty slow, though. rich ======================================================================== Richard Fozzard University of Colorado "Serendipity empowers" fozzard@boulder.colorado.edu
