paging-transport Last Update: 03/02/97

Paging Transport - This is an extension that installs a communications transport which can be used with most paging services (SkyTel, MobileComm, etc..) using Telecator Access Protocol (TAP). It can also read messages from the Socket Communications PageCard. Some of the other features include: 1) The ability to poll the pager for new messages. 2) A backdrop application button (in the status bar) for easy access to checking your messages on the pager. 3) CardFile (Names) lookup. When a message comes in with just a phone number, the number is matched against phone number combinations found in the Names soup. If a match is found, useful information from the Names entry is added to the message and displayed. 4) Page sending and receiving.

pm288mt Last Update: 03/02/97

PM288MT - This folder contains a modem setup for the Practical Peripherals 28'8 MT for use with Modem Enabler 1.0 (and later?) of the Newton(tm) and this document. Please install Apple Modem Enabler 1.0(or later?) for Newton. After you installed Modem Enabler,then you can install the setup package. Once the setup is installed, go to the Modem preference and select the PM288MT item from the "Connect with" pop-up. That's it, now faxing and Newton email will use your Practical Peripherals 28'8 MT. This modem setup is freeware.

pocketcall-1.0-demo Last Update: 03/02/97

PocketCall 1.0 Demo - PocketCall is the intelligent communications assistant for all personal digital assistants. As a full-featured communications application for Newton, PocketCall will allow you to use any Hayes compatible modem (including both external and PCMCIA-internal devices) to dial into any text-based online system. PocketCall allows you to set up multiple 'service' files, storing communications settings, logon sequences and scripts for each one. TTY terminal emulation with with a virtual 80 column screen lets you function in the same way as you would with a desktop terminal or communications program. Lots more features. This demo gives you a feel of the program, but you can't do anything with it.

usrsport Last Update: 03/02/97

USRSport - This folder contains a modem setup for the external USR Sportster modem for use with Version 1.0 (and later?) of the Newton(tm) modem enabler. It should work with both the PC version and the Mac & Fax version of the modem. I believe that it will work with the USR Courier modems. Install the modem enabler (found at the usual ftp sites) using the provided instructions. After the modem enabler is installed you can install various modem setups. This file contains a setup for the USR Sportster modem and will add a line to the "Connect with" and "Remove Modem Setup" items in the modem preferences. Now faxing and newton email will use your external USR Sportster modem.

yapi-1.02 Last Update: 03/02/97

YAPI 1.02 - YAPI is a Newton application that transfers packages to the Newton using the Xmodem protocol. Since it does not require MNP or AppleTalk, as other package downloaders do, packages can be sent from communications software available on most PCs and workstations. Connect a cable between the host and the Newton (more about cables below). Start the comms software on the host (PROCOMM, Zterm, sb, ..., whatever can do Xmodem). Setup the comms software to do Xmodem transfers with 128 byte blocks and checksum error detection. Initiate the Xmodem transfer on the host, then click on the "Download" button in the YAPI window on the Newton. There is a progress bar in the YAPI window that gives a rough estimate of the download progress.

zyxel Last Update: 03/02/97

ZyXEL - This folder contains a modem setup for the external ZyXEL modem for use with Version 1.0 (and later?) of the Newton(tm) modem enabler. I believe that it will work with the Newton Mail but I have no confirmation of that as of yet. I'm pretty sure that it will not allow you to fax because of an incompatibility. The Newton requires Class 1 Fax commands and the ZyXEL doesn't seem to support these. If you get faxing to work I would appreciate some email so that I can update the documentation. After the modem enabler is installed you can install various modem setups. This file contains a setup for the ZyXEL modem and will add a line to the "Connect with" and "Remove Modem Setup" items in the modem preferences.
