[comp.sys.mac.comm] Can uAccess talk to NetModem?

jcj@virtech.uucp (Jeff C. Jones) (03/25/91)

I spent most of Saturday trying to set up a Mac shop with a Usenet/mail
feed using uAccess.  The only modem they have available is a NetModem
connected to a file server (Appleshare? I dunno, I'm a UNIX guy :-).
Also, the use of uAccess directly on the file server is not an option.

We are able to connect fine thru the fileserver to AppleLink, so I assume
the AppleLink software is "NetModem aware".  I was unable to get uAccess
to recognize the NetModem driver (which was set to emulate the modem port).

Question:  Is it possible to get uAccess to work with this sort of setup?
	Or are my Mac friends gonna have to invest in another modem to use
	with the machine which will dial out using uAccess to grab news?
	(I don't even know if the NetModem can be used as a non-Netmodem;
	one guy who was in at work didn't think so, and he'd know better
	than me;  I also don't know if that's an option for them.)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  I follow this group, but email always
saves bandwidth.  I promise to summarize if there's interest.
