HayesConnect consists of two parts. The Server runs on a Mac with a modem (or other serial device) and allows that device to be shared with any number of client Macs. HayesConnect works over all forms of AppleTalk (LocalTalk, Ethertalk, TokenTalk). Clients access the server by using the HayesConnect chooser device, much like they select a printer. HayesConnect is about $79 from the larger mail order houses, like MacWarehouse. It should do what you want. -- Bill Coleman, AA4LR ! CIS: 76067,2327 AppleLink: D1958 Principal Software Engineer !
