MacTEP is a Microsoft BASIC script for the early Macintosh, written by
Dennis Brothers, that functions as a [terminal emulator][1].

From the [BS Disk III][2] "Notes" file:

> MacTEP is a MS-BASIC terminal emulator for the Macintosh. It has the
> capability of uploading and downloading text files, and has a
> special download feature for downloading BASIC files. This version
> (1.81) has been re-written with some machine language to handle
> [baud] rates up to 9600 baud. It is written by Dennis Brothers
> 70065,172, of CompuServe MAUG.
>
> Misc. Notes: You can send a command-C (which normally interrupts
> BASIC) to the mainframe or host computer by pressing the enter key
> (next to the space bar). A command-S will not stop the mainframe or
> host computer, but instead will stop BASIC -- if you are using
> CompuServe, use command-A. A command-L from keyboard, mainframe, or
> host will clear screen.

Also included with this download is a second BASIC script, Overlay,
written by Loftus Becker, which can be used in conjunction with MacTEP
for added functionality with the Hayes Smartmodem.

From the BS Disk III "Notes" file:

> This overlay was written by Loftus Becker, and enhances MacTEP to be
> able to use the auto-dial functions of the Hayes Smartmodem and
> compatible modems, and some menu functions.
>
> Note: if you are using a Hayes Smartmodem, switch 4 should be down
> else the Hayes modem may hang up BASIC.

MacTEP and Overlay were sourced from "BS Disk III", found in [this
collection][2].
