TOPIC ---------------------------------------------
The AppleFax Modem manual implies that the modem allows a Macintosh file to
be transferred from one Macintosh to another Macintosh via two AppleFax
Modems at 9600 baud. Is this accurate?
DISCUSSION ---------------------------------------------
Page 92 of the "AppleFax Modem User's Guide" states the following:
"If you want, you can use a communications application as long as you're
communicating with another AppleFax Modem. A communications application
lets you transmit Macintosh files, type messages back and forth, and use
the modem commands described in Appendix B."
The manual goes on to say (on page 92) what communications parameters the
AppleFax Modem requires for successful use a 9600-baud modem.
This means that the AppleFax Modem allows you to transmit Macintosh files
(text files, MacPaint files, PICT files, and so on) to another Macintosh at
9600 baud as long as both modems are AppleFax Modems. It is not necessary
for both AppleFax Modems to be using the same communications software as
long they support the same transfer protocol.
The AppleFax Modem does support a subset of the Hayes "AT" command set.
For more information on this, look in Appendix B, which starts on page 137.
