Here are some questions about Communications Toolbox: 1. How to get it as soon us possible? 2. Can it detect communications rate when modem has been set to for example 2400 bps in autoanswer mode, and connecting modem comes in with 1200? 3. Must it be distributed with programs that use/support it? 4. How much does it cost? 5. Are there ready interfaces for THINK_C? This means, is it provided as a THINK_C library or as a system document, or both? Thank you. -- ************************************************************************* * Miika Asunta * Double Basist * * internet: maa@clinet.fi * Macintosh Programmer * * UUCP: mcsun!santra!clinet!maa * *

Must it be distributed with programs that use/support it? Ideally, however keep in mind that CommToolbox is bundled with System 7.0 (although the tools are not). >4. How much does it cost? CommToolbox 80 Basic Connectivity Set 50 The CommToolbox package includes the documentation, installer disk, and interface/object files. The Basic Connectivity Set includes the ADSP, Apple Modem, and Serial connekction tools, the Text and XMODEM file transfer tools, and the TTY and VT102 terminal tools. There are additional tools available. Note that these are single use licenses. Commercial redistribution licenses can be arranged. >5. Are there ready interfaces for THINK_C?

Converting the interface files and the object files are trivial... (come to think of it, maybe Symantec has already converted these) Hope this helps. Byron Han
