Basic Modem Operation 25
Mac Software Tips
All terminal programs which make use of the hardware handshaking
feature can be used on the Apple Macintosh. Such programs are
readily available as PD, shareware or commercial software. One of
the most powerful shareware programs available is ZTerm.
Fewer programs are available to make use of the ZyXEL's fax
features. One program which has found wide acceptance is FaxSTF
which can be installed like a printer driver allowing you to send
faxes from almost any program which runs on your Macintosh. At
the same time it allows automatic fax receiving. This program
includes powerful line manager software which makes sure fax
software does not interfere with other programs using the serial
ports. If the modem is turned off when you start your Macintosh
with the line manager activated, the computer may seem to freeze
for a few minutes. During this time the line manager software tries
to locate and to set up the modem. Turn on your modem before
you start your Macintosh to avoid this delay.
MaxFax is another fax software for Macintosh computers.
Drivers are available which allow use of the serial ports at speeds
up to 230.4 Kbps. These drivers are currently available for Power
Macs and AV Macs only.

Serial Cable
Please consult the documentation that came with your workstation
to find the part number of or information on how to make a serial

handshaking type. Please refer to Chapter 11 Connector Pinouts for
a complete list of signals provided for the modem’s serial port.
