I would simply get NewTen and use it under X. I use it on my Beige
G3/333 and can even use the original serial ports under Jaguar. I plug
my Newt into the modem port, and use "modem.cu". I don't know if that
would work under 10.1.5. I didn't have NewTen installed until after I
got Jag.
BTW," BIG THANKS" to Steve(?) for writing NewTen!!! As well as John and
Paul and anyone else writing stuff for X to use with our green friends.
