Apple Express Fax/Modem - Manual (Page 15)

Other materials
To use your Express Modem, you may also need:
m A modular connector on your telephone line If your telephone cord
cannot be removed from the wall or has a non-standard jack, you’ll need a
modular adapter or a new telephone system that provides a modular jack.
Ask your local telephone retailer for assistance in selecting the most
appropriate solution for a modular jack.
m An analog telephone line The Express Modem is designed for use with a
traditional telephone system (also called an analog system). Most homes
use an analog system.
m Communications Toolbox compatible software The Express Modem
comes with CTB compatible fax software. If you plan to use a terminal
emulator or other data communications package, you must purchase it
separately. It should be CTB compatible.
m PowerBook options Depending on the PowerBook model you have, you
can purchase an approved travel adapter for correct modem configuration
in the country you’re visiting. Ask your Apple dealer for details.
Other software you can purchase
In addition to the Express Modem and Express Fax software, you can
purchase communications software, such as MacTerminal, that fits your own
needs. A few types of software are discussed below.
AppleTalk Remote Access
AppleTalk Remote Access software allows you to connect to your office
AppleTalk network over telephone lines. With AppleTalk Remote Access you
can work anywhere there is a phone line, transferring files and accessing
electronic mail, printers, servers, and other network devices. The high speed
of the modem (up to 14400 bps) makes the connection time shorter and
therefore less expensive. See “Setting up AppleTalk Remote Access” in
Appendix C.
