[comp.sys.mac] use of alternate serial port on mac se

sundar@hermes.ai.mit.edu (Sundar Narasimhan) (08/02/88)

Hi: Is there a simple way to connect up another terminal to a
MAC SE via the extra serial port and run programs on it? 

a. Does any vendor's C provide something like curses() for this
   alternate serial port?

b. Does any standard database product have this capability? (It does
   NOT have to be multi-user, all it needs is the ability to operate
   off of another terminal rather than the main mac screen)..

c. While I am at it, does anyone have any opinions regarding 4'th
   Dimension ? Their sales number is always busy, and I am somewhat irritated
   by their hierarchical n-numbered sequence dialing that wracks up
   huge long distance bills..
