Hello,
I'm working on hooking up modems to several local schools with Apple II's of
unknown type (//e, II+, gs, etc). and was looking for a good communications
program for the light of budget. Shareware or Public domain is preferred.
Can anyone suggest such a package and where to get it? I have ftp access, but
I'm kindof new to appleII's, so if anyone could give me a brief rundown of how
to download files from those sites and get them in apple readable format, I'd
appreciate it.
I have access to unix boxes, macs, and an Apple // with kermit (surely there is
something better?).
I am used to ftp'ing things for the mac, so I'm not an ftp-illiterate, I just
don't know what the moral equivalent to .sit.hqx is. It looks to be .shk and
something else, but I'm not sure exactly what the process is to get the apple
files out of that format.
Thanks,
Vaughan
