     Most likely, Steve Cavenaugh (editor of Apple Blossom) is still
distributing the Chuck Orem Modemming Starter Disk for a few dollars. It
is a nice collection of telecom and related wares. The version I bought
includes a telecom program which runs on a II+ called "COMM.SYSTEM". You
can check with Steve to make sure it is still included. Below is contact
info recently supplied to me by Dr. Tom:

Apple Blossom (Apple Blossom Publishing, P.O. Box 120434, Boston, MA
02112-0434) is a bi-montly mini-magazine edited by Steve Cavenaugh.

     You mentioned a problem getting SSC info. If "SSC" means "Super
Serial Card" the following should help:

From: Tom Kelly

013- What are the settings for the Apple Super Serial Card?

SUPER SERIAL CARD (SSC) SETUP SETTINGS
 
Recomended slots:
    slot 1 for terminal use (e.g. printer)
    slot 2 for communication use (e.g. modem)
 
Jumper Block:
    for communication use label is upside down (arrow points up)
    for terminal use label is right side up (arrow points down)

Note that RS-232-C signals on the SSC use negative-true logic; that is,
they are true at 0v and false at +5 volts.
