Software for the Apple Macintosh All terminal programs which make use of the hardware handshaking feature can be used on the Apple Macintosh. Such programs are readily avilable as PD, shareware or commercial software. One of the most powerful shareware programs available is ZTerm. Fewer programs are available to make use of the ZyXEL's fax features. A commercial software which has found wide acceptance is FaxSTF. It is installed like a printer driver, thus allowing you to send faxes from almost any program which runs on your Macintosh. At the same time, it allows automatic fax receiving. This program includes a powerful line manager software which makes sure that the fax software does not interfere with other programs using the serial ports. If the modem is turned off when you start your Macintosh with the line manager activated, the computer may seem to idle for a few minutes. During this time, the line manager software tries to locate and to set up the modem. Turn on your modem before you start your Macintosh to avoid this delay. MaxFax is another fax software for Macintosh computers. On top of the fax handling, it allows you to make use of the ZyXEL modems' voice features. This software is licensed and distributed by ZyXEL, USA. Other fax and voice software packages are available in the public domain, as shareware or as commercial software. For the Power Macintoshs, drivers are available which allow the use of the serial ports at speeds up to 230.4Kbps. These drivers are currently available for Power Macs and AV Macs only. 23-3
