I am going to try to copy files from my color classic to a pci Powermac that I have, connecting each to a modem and then connecting the modems to each other. Does anyone know the correct settings to use with the Microphone LT software? I found a website that explains the correct settings using AppleWorks, but I don't have AppleWorks.
