Re: Something Cool I Just Got

They never released a //GS specific version. The "Novation 
Communications Module" sounds like an Apple Cat II Modem. The single 
card version is 300 baud, but there was an optional second card that 
upped the ante to 1200 baud. All in all, it was probably the best modem 
ever released for the Apple II series, as it included various sound 
capabilities built into it. It was the most-loved modem in the hacking 
community, as even the standard 300 baud version, could do 1200 baud 
half duplex. Many programs were written that exploited this feature. 
There was also a BSR controller built into the modem card, so that with 
an expansion module, you could control the lights in your house. :-)

Do a google search for Cat-Fer and Cat-Send and you should see some of 
that stuff.

Sure it's for the GS?  Sounds like the old Novation Apple-CAT.  IIRC,

MIGHT get 2400 baud out of the thing, but that's about it.  (It was, if
it's the same thing, originally released for the Apple ][+ and later
updated somewhat for the later machines.  I don't recall them 
releasing a
GS-specific version.  Anyone else remember?)
