Hello all,
I use a PC at home and a Mac at work, at home i'm thinking of
upgrading my Sportster 14.4 to something newer, can i easily connect
this to my Mac to get some use out of it for Faxing and general Comms.


I thank you for taking the time to read this and for any replies.

Its exactly what I'm using having been given it by a PC using friend.
Give U.S. Robotics in Reading a call. You'll need the Mac software and a
cable. Can't remember how much they were...about 30 squid I think

I use  a PC sportster (as opposed to a Mac & Fax) on both a PC laptop and
my mac.  You'll need a mac modem cable :

a hardware handshaking modem cable for a mac (pins are looking from front!)

top middle        purpler    No Connection
top right          black        7

middle left       orange     2
middle middle   yellow     7
middle right     green       3

bottom left       brown     4,20
bottom right     red          5

and TCP/IP for your mac (unless you have all the mac software (You sne t
this message from a PC - so I can't tell).
