Mac Software Tips All terminal programs which make use of the hardware handshaking feature can be used on the Apple Macintosh. Such programs are readily available 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. One program which has found wide acceptance is FaxSTF which can be installed like a printer driver 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 powerful line manager software which makes sure 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 freeze 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. Drivers are available which allow use of the serial ports at speeds up to 230.4 Kbps. These drivers are currently available for Power Macs and AV Macs only.
