I have a question regarding connecting a Mac SE to the serial port on the SUN3/160 computer. Can I connect the serial port on the Mac to the serial port on the SUN and use a terminal emulation software like kermit to use the Mac as a terminal? I could do this with an IBM PC/AT and it worked fine and I could transfer files between the two machines. But I don't know how to do this on the Mac. Can someone please help me with this problem? Thanks a lot in advance. Baskaran Subramaniam

I do this all the time with my Mac Plus and VersaTerm talking to a Sun
3/50. Works like a champ (at 19200, yet).

It works like a champ with VI, EMACS, All-in-One, etc. MicroPhone II's Kermit is fast, robust, supports Kermit server client commands, and batch transfers. Additionally, you'll have at your disposal, very a powerful scripting, yet very English like language.
