 This article describes Apple Access II communication software.

 DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------

 Overview
 --------
 Apple Access II provides intelligent and easy-to-use terminal software to
 Apple II users.  It uses the power of the computer for automatic
 communications and full disk support, including file transfer.  Apple
 Access II incorporates the AppleWorks user interface, making its operation
 is clear and easy to understand.

 Apple Access II allows the user to send and receive any type of ProDOS file
 via modem.  Apple Access II supports all features of Apple Modems,
 including automatic dialing of telephone numbers.  In addition, it allows
 users to automatically log on to remote computers.  Procedures for
 automatic log-on to Dow Jones, CompuServe, and the Source are included on
 the disk.

 Apple Access II can be used with any modem that operates through an RS-232
 port, or by direct connection to another computer.  The software supports
 speeds up to 9600 baud.  (It does not support split speeds, modems that
 send at one rate and receive at another.)  Apple Access II provides
 complete TTY, ANSI (VT100), and VT52 terminal emulation for advanced users
 (less graphics).

 A training disk, included with the software, allows users of all levels of
 proficiency to see results quickly.  The Reference Manual explains
 introductory as well as advanced concepts of telecommunications.
