It should be just a case of getting a new cable, and then altering your
init strings to suit the PC. However this might not be quite as easy as it
sounds, and you will need to talk to somebody with a USR 14.4 PC modem to
see what their init strings are.

I am sure that if these are used the Modem will fire up on the PC,
certainly the reverse worked for me with an XLINK 14.4 PC modem when I
tried to use it on a MAC.

GOOD LUCK

I believe that the only difference is that &D0 on a Mac
should be &D2 on a PC. The PC settings are laid out in
modem.txt for the Sportster (same modem)
