ADTPro- Recent release for ProDOS which runs on 64k Apple II (with the Apple SSC
card) and with the Apple IIgs native modem port at 115kbps. This distribution
also uncludes a new interface for the other side.
ADT is practically always distributed as a .zip file including at least an
Apple II and PC program plus directions for transferring the Apple II program
dump file to your Apple II, setting up, and operation.
One distribution, ADT_2004.zip, includes the three earlier Apple II-side
programs, both PC-side programs, directions, and assorted support files.
Each Apple II-side program is a block of code (e.g. adt.dmp) designed to be
dumped from PC to an Apple II running DOS 3.3 via a simple Text transfer to the
monitor which requires no terminal or other special software on the Apple II.
Once both sides are installed, ADT transfer speed typically ranges from
9600 baud through 19,200 baud.

If you find you just can't get your communications software to transfer
that ADT file, then lets try it without any comm software at all. We will still
essentially make the IBM type in the program on the Apple II using the comm
ports of both computers.
For directions, see ADT_TransferWithoutCommSoftware.txt on
GS WorldView at http://apple2.org.za/gswv/a2zine/Docs/ .

004- How do I transfer files between computers using NULL
modem?
You will need a NULL modem connector and each computer needs a modem cable
and telecom program. A IIe or II+ will also need a serial card.

| program | cable [connector ] cable | program |

"NULL modem" means "no modem". A NULL modem connector is just a pair of
connectors wired 'back to back' with a few lines switched so that each computer
views the other pretty much as though it were a modem. Radio Shack, Marlin P.
Jones, and other places sell NULL modem adapters in the form of small modules or
short cables for a few dollars; or, you can make your own.
