The problem of hooking up a Mac with a Vadic 3451P modem begins to
seem more difficult.

What is needed is a DB9/DB25 adaptor. Unfortunately, it isn't available
from any of the dozen-or-so Apple dealers I called. So I called Apple,
and they said the dealers could order it. But that takes time.

This adaptor allows RS-232 to talk with whatever that new "standard"
Apple has installed in the back of the Mac. (Aside: why can't these
companies stick with standards!! And save us all these hassles!)

I intend to follow another course. A company in Sunnyvale called
INMAC will manufacture any particular adapter you like given the
particular configuration of pins involved on both ends.

You send this configuration to
INMAC
130 S Wolfe Rd
Sunnyvale, Ca.
94086

And hopefully, they will be able to put together something for you.

Rumor has it that the Apple 1200 modem comes with a special adapter
kit, but of the dealers I queried, none of them would open a package
to show me the adapter.
