File transfer can be achieved with a computer-to-computer connection
through the Model 24 as long as the communicating computers are
each running a third-party communications software package. Note
that to effectively achieve file transfer, both computers should be
running the same communications program.
The port select sequence should be sent from within your
communications package by using a macro or manually typing it out so
you can see the On Line or Busy message.
NOTE: Using hot key software to select another computer port is not
suggested. This is because the hot key software does not provide full
duplex communication so you cannot see the On Line or Busy
message if you attempt to use hot key software to determine whether
or not you got connection to the other computer port.

Modem sharing can be achieved with a computer-to-computer
connection through the Model 24. It is suggested that the computer
make the connection to the modem port from within your desired
modem package. You would need to be in a full duplex mode within
your modem package. You would also need to configure your modem
package to communicate with the same serial port parameters that
your computer normally uses to print (i.e., baud rate, etc.).
A common mistake is to configure your communications package to
match your modem's serial parameters (baud rate, word size, etc.) and
not the Model 24's serial parameters. Keep in mind that you are
physically connected to the Model 24, not the modem. The Model 24
will do any necessary serial parameter conversions between the
computer and the modem.
