Chapter 10: Communications This chapter explains how to use AppleWorks to establish communication between your computer and another computer. All communications features, including procedures, shortcuts, and troubleshooting, are described completely in onscreen Help. When to use a communications document In the Help index,* see: E telecommunications Create a communications document when you want to exchange information with another computer. Use an AppleWorks communications document to: 1 connect to a text-based commercial online service such as CompuServe 1 connect to a computer you can access at your business or school 1 connect to a public or private bulletin board service (BBS) 1 transfer files directly from one computer to another Communications basics To get started with communicating with other computers, you need to have the correct software and hardware setup and become familiar with communications terms and AppleWorks communications documents. What you need In the Help index,* see: E telecommunications Before you can use AppleWorks for communications, you need: 1 the Apple Communications Toolbox tools (for example, the Apple Modem Tool). If you installed the full version of AppleWorks, the installation program copied the necessary tools to your system if you didn't already have them. 1 a modem and the necessary cables to connect your computer to a telephone line. Refer to the modem manufacturer's manual and the online service for additional requirements. Note If you're connecting directly to another computer, you may not need a modem. Instead, you can use a serial connection cable. See "Connecting to another computer without a modem" on page 10-4 for more information. * Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry.
