Dear Friends --

Newbie here.  I have a Mac LCIII, and a modem I liberated from my last job in
corporate America.  2400 baud.  Think, The Little Modem that Could (I _think_ I
can, I _think_ I can, I _think_ I can. . .)  Think, Fred Flintstone.  Anyway,
I've acquired a 28.8k modem from a friend, and am having trouble getting it to
work with the Mac.  The configuration "help" file tells me I need a "Hardware
Handshaking" cable for anything faster than 9600 bps.  

Does anyone here know anything about this?  I don't specially want to go out
and buy a cable if it's really a software problem, and vice versa.

Thanks!

Macs DO need a different cable compared to PCs. Should be fairly readily
available from Mac-friendly sources.
