[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Comm Toolbox & MacTCP

jcocon@hubcap.clemson.edu (james c oconnor) (06/21/91)

I understand that the MacTCP tool which comes with the basic
connectivity set is not a complete implementation, so I won't be
able to use it.

I am looking to be able to do the following:  hook up to a IBM mainframe
in the background of a Hypercard 2 stack using either an ethernet
connection, appletalk which is gated to ethernet, or a serial line
connection, modem.  I need to be able to do all of these.  Within
Hypercard I need to keep a 3270 type screen for my program to read
and write, but the user will never see it.

Does anyone have any pointers about where I can get the comm toolbox
tools I need?  What about alternate strategies?  Can I make MacTCP
calls like TN3270 does?

New to communications programming (obviously).
