The easiest way to do this is to buy the Apple //e printer cable. This will expand the 8 pin output from the modem/printer ports to standard 25-pin RS-232. I have used this cable (along with a gender changer that also reverses pins 2 and 3) to connect the mac with an IBM PC for file transfer using Kermit. I would assume that you could do something similar on the UNIX side. Note that the output to an imagewriter is not ASCII codes, so you will need to save your documents as text files and then use a communications package to transfer the text to UNIX. ---- Dan Crimmins University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Computing Services Office - Micro Consulting Dept.
