Let me suggest, as a satisfied customer, the MacConnect software which
runs over either ODI or NDIS network interfaces on the Thinkpad. I'm
very happy with MacConnect running over the ODI interface presented by
PC-NFS 5.1 running over my 3C581 packet driver. This setup gives my
little portable the ability to simultaneously support PC-NFS, Windows
Socket Interface, DOS packet driver programs (custom netwatch ethernet
sniffer / packet analyzer), direct printing to HPLJ-IV network printer,
and peer to peer file sharing with Mac systems via Appletalk protocol.
If you don't have a local ethernet handy, you could always get a cheap
passive hub to pass traffic among your machines.

John> null-modem cable. I don't know if any exist. -- John H. Kim
Hi, I have heard people talking about serial null-modem cable. I have
tried to link the 701C serial port to my Mac serial port without
success. I have found in Radio Shack a connector which converts my Mac
serial cable at the modem end to attach to the 701C. Although the
connector fits, but it seems that the signal lines inside are not
matched.
Can anybody tell me where to find the so-called null-modem cable for
connecting two computer's serial ports directly?
Thanks in advance!

you need to specify the end connectors (male/female, 9/25 pins), and
you will probably need also a female to female convertor.
The cable I got works well with C-kermit under OS2, it should work
with mac but I never tried it. Supposedly there exist a sort of thing
called a "fake null modem cable" which will allow only half-duplex
serial connections. Be carefull not to get one.

Actually, for your bi-platform questions I might be of assistance.
I've been using a PowerMac in addition to my PC's (one of which is the
701C) for quite some time now. However, I haven't done *anything* with the
IR stuff, so I can't help there.
External CD-ROM's (SCSI) are a cinch to use on either platform. As
far as using the one *inside* your PowerMac...I don't think so, but don't
quote me on that. I've never really been able to do such a thing, but then
I haven't tried too hard either.
IMO, the *BEST* solution for you is to set up a simple Ethernet
job. For $40 you can get a transceiver for your Mac, and some amout of $
will get you a PCMCIA Ethernet thing for your 701C. Then, the software you
want to buy is "MacLan Connect" by Miramar software in Santa Barbara.
Basically, MacLan is Windows software that provides AppleTalk
capability to Windows (and you just turn on the various file-sharing stuff
built-in to the Mac). Bingo--you can share drives either direction and
also printers (PostScript--you can do others with the help of additional
software). Only problem is that it doesn't yet support Win '95's long
filenames.
But its the best solution I've ever used for getting my two
platforms to talk to each other--and I went through a *lot* of crap. You
might even be able to get the Apple CD-ROM to be used on your PC.

There is a decent one called "MacLink Plus" but that sucker is slow
as molasses.
Good set of file translators though.

Subject: Null Modem Cable...
Message-Id: <Pine.A32.3.91.960407164108.85350A-100000@ux7.cso.uiuc.edu>
A null modem cable is basically a modem cable which reverses the send
and recieve pins. If two serials were connected with a modem cable they
would both try to listen for data on the same line and try to send data
on the same line, so pins 2 & 3 of the cable are reversed wrt a modem cable.
They are about $10.
Most null modem cables or "laplink" cables come with both 9 and 25 pin ends
and the other dangles off when one is connected. Kind of a pain it can
get cluttery. Get either 9/25 and get an adaptor if needed. If you
already have a modem cable you can also get null modem converter for a
few dollars. Also get one with person friendly finger/thumb screws....
On ports and the like, I suggest your desktop modem at Com2 and make the
null modem at Com4. You don't want it on Com1 'cause that's propaby
where your modem is. On the thinkpad, at least the 701, the mouse is
unrelated to com-ports, so I suggest that you put the Ir on Com2 and the
Modem on Com1 and the serial on Com3 of the multiport.
You will have to set the modem speed to the lower of the two machines.
If you don't have software like Laplink or TranXit, any modem or terminal
sofware will work. You will effectively be 'dialing' one machine from
another and recieve the 'call' on the other, so use the faster machine as
the one doing the work, and plug the TP to the adaptor to keep things
running smoothly. You be sending and recieving files by sz or sendz for
sending a file and gz for getting a file. Z-Modem is by far the most
effecive if you can do it. Kermit and Y-Modem also work, but I think Z is
faster.

Does MacLan run under os2 (Warp)?
Have you tried NetPresenz by Peter Lewis? (I'd like to know if you think
it's rubbish :-)
BTW, here is an alternative: according to c't 4 (1996), pp 376ff, you
can use a serial connection (null modem) as the RS-422 of the Mac is
compatible with the RS-232 of the PC. If you use a modern rate you
can get a transfer rate of up to 230kb/s. - If you haven't got an
ethernet card this is a pretty cheap way of connecting Mac and PC.

That's a cheap null modem cable. I don't think that'll work with a Mac.
I seem to recall reading that the Mac combines a couple of the PC serial
port's pinouts, requiring a fully wired null modem cable for the signals
to make sense to the Mac. The "Laplink" cables are fully wired.

Sorry, that is a 3Com 3C589 (PCMCIA Etherlink III) network adaptor. It
comes with ODI & NDIS drivers. You can get the packet driver from their
online (dialup) bulletin board system and (internet) ftp site. I bought
my 3C589 used for about helf of 3Com's new price.

open it with your word processor. If in doubt, don't ask for this
version. This isn't for internet *newbies.* Better to order option 1

to deal with this option.

just double-click on the file icon and it automatically expands
(unstuffs). This is for more advanced mac computer users only, as
you still have to know how to deal with an attached file. It will cut
your download time by 75%. Expands out to the same ~525K file in
option #2. See option #2 for more info on what you will need to be
able to do.
4. For expert computer users: compressed attached text file, created with

Hi fellow 'netters,
My name is John Chen and I recently started using a magazine subscription
club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription deal with your
first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them. They have over
1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country on a
subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they more of a
selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for most every
area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles.
Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their
competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price
guarantee.
Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half of
what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some
titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They
feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people buy
magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes or
hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to make
it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper than all
their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the publishers
themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half their business
comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new members who only speak
limited English as a 2nd language.
Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and
cut-out all the middlemen.
They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey)
!)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the
freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories
and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell.
Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student. I
don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my
part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully
follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail.
They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are less
than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other times,
just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet. They
assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it.
They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I
haved moved from one country to another.
They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from a
special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will
give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them
to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular
USA titles they sell.
They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have
clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a charge
for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie subs) that
varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to be very
friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change when I
moved from one country to another.
The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members"
(even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase
automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts
as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls you
personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes he has
one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he insists on
setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I sure wouldn't
want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future orders (after your
first order) via E-mail.
He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know
just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas, he
will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he still
makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long distance
rates are cheaper then.
He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing
members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had a
2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they could
join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately when you
call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new members the
same day or within a few days now, as they have increased their staff. I am
not sure about this.........but if you email the above form to them, that is
the way to get started!
They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey)
!)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the
freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories
and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell.
They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of
free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what he
sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly,
no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and
answer all your questions.
Once you get in, you'll love them. I do.
Sincerely,
John Chen

i have one of these. it comes with an ac adapter, but will also run on 6 AA
batteries. i've never run it on batteries, so i don't know how long they
last. it will play audio cd's through a stereo headphone jack with volume
control. there is no auxiliary out, so the only way to play audio cd's
through
the laptop is to run an extra cable from the headphone jack on the drive to
the
mic input on the thinkpad, which isn't pretty, but it works.

The highest rate I've seen is 115 kb/s, and that's bits, not bytes, so
the overall rate is way lower than, say, a floppy drive. OK for file
transfers, but not like you can cross mount the CD-ROM or hard drive and
have it be just like a lan.
