Does anyone have experience connecting a Mac to an Apollo via a serial line? After several months of waiting we finally received Mac-Apollo connection software from Apollo, pre-release stuff that was apparently developed at the University of Michigan. The software looks promising, but the documentation is sparse and we are having all sorts of problems with it. If someone out there has experience with this stuff and would be willing to help me via email, I would be grateful. -- --Tom McDougal ARPA: mcdougal@gargoyle.UChicago.edu UUCP: ...ihnp4!gargoyle!mcdougal

Kind of primitive, but I could not locate that Kermit I had heard about for the Apollo... I would be interested to see follow-ups rather than discussing this topic in Email ... -- werner@rascal.ics.utexas.edu (prefered address) kraut@emx.cc.utexas.edu kraut@ut-emx.UUCP (or ...!ut-sally!ut-emx!kraut)
