greetings maxPenguins,
I'm new to this list, though some of you may know me from the sidelines on the
compact and vintage lists. My first computer was a Mac Classic, a gift in the
latter part of '99.
I have two machines up and running:
johnHenry - se30 8/1000 MacOS 7.5.3/Debian m68k 2.2.19
blackbird - IIfx 8/250 MacOS 7.5.3/Debian m68k 2.2.19
I'm completly new to Linux, got interested when I learned my ISP, Chebucto
Community Net, runs Red Hat. Couldn't understand anything much when I crashed
some tech committee mtgs, and when one of the guys showed me a picture of his
PVC potato cannon and the poor Mac Plus used as a target, I decided revenge is
in order and I'm after root privileges >;-)
Fists clenched and tears steaming down my cheeks, I headed home to show him the
right way to put a potato in a Mac. _That_ was May, and now with September fast
approaching, I have finally managed to install the Potato on both johnHenry and
blackbird. That's great, but I'd like to email him using linux a note, and
attach photos of MAC.truck installed _on_ a pc! ;)
That brings me to my present dilema: I'm using a terminal program to access the
iNet- ZTerm with Mac OS. I've got a SupraExpress 33.6 modem, my usual
initialisation string is <ATV1M0&D0^M> (inside the angle brackets). I want to
do the same using linux, and have downloaded minicom, and installed.
- I need help configuring Minicom- if I want to use the z-terminal protocol,
are the callout and callin programs sz and rz, respectively? Will Need to use
any particular options with them?
- Where do these programs reside, normally? Would apt-get install them in the
proper location automagically?
Besides this particular problem, I'm just struggling to figure out dselect, and
what's what and where's it go...etc...
tia,
scb
