System Requirements
ZTerm was designed to run on a machine with at least 1 megabyte of memory, using the MacPlus or later and running System 6 or later.

Installing ZTerm on your Apple Macintosh computer

1. Obtain a copy of ZTerm from one of the Computing Services Labs. You will need to supply a diskette, or you may download a copy of ZTerm to your computer now.
2. Insert the MacKermit diskette into your Apple Macintosh computer.
3. Double click on the diskette icon to show the diskette contents.
4. Copy the MacKermit folder by dragging it to your hard drive icon.
5. After you copy MacKermit from the diskette to your hard drive, eject the diskette.
6. Double click on the "ZTerm Folder" icon on your hard drive to open the folder.
7. Double click on the ZTerm icon to configure it.

Setting Preferences
Download the special settings file for ZTerm and replace it with the exisiting one in the ZTerm Folder. This is a special settings file for dialing UALR.

The top half of the Settings menu are settings for each service. All the options in these dialogs are stored separately for each service. The lower half of this menu is for preferences, which are global.

Select the General Preferences item. The TEXT file creator determines how TEXT files created by ZTerm (by capture, Save Selection, etc) are marked. Use the pop up menu to select the text editor or word processor that you want to use to read text files. Click on OK, then select Terminal Preferences. Change the font size if desired. The custom terminal fonts in ZTerm are in 9 or 12 point. Any other size will not look very good. If you have a 9 inch screen, you will probably want to use the 9 point font to be able to get a 24 by 80 terminal window. If you have a larger monitor, you may want to use 12 point, which is easier on the eyes.

Now select Modem Preferences. First, select the port that your modem or connection is attached to. The Initialization string is sent to your modem when you start ZTerm. In many cases, you can leave this empty and ZTerm will work fine. But if you use other communications software, it might leave your modem in a different configuration. When most Hayes compatible modems connect, the verbal result code is CONNECT 28000 (or some other speed).

The DeInitialize string is like the Initialization string, but it is sent when you quit ZTerm. You can usually leave this blank, but you may want to use it to disable something that you turned on in the init string. For example, if your init string turns on the auto answer feature of the modem, you may want to turn it off when you exit ZTerm.

If you have the call waiting feature on your telephone, you must disconnect it to aviod being disconnected when using the modem. When in the Dial Directory window, click on the CONNECTION button to display the UALR setup. Add *70, to the beginning of the telephone number so that it looks like this: *70,515-6150.
