  1. #QModem 4.51 #Source #Code release of an MS-DOS telecommunications program authored by John Friel III (1960–2024). This source snapshot reflects the state of QModem "Test-Drive" edition, version 4.51, as it existed in early 1992. The release is presented in the hope it may prove valuable as a historical artifact, for #telecommunications enthusiasts, retrocomputing hobbyists, or anyone interested in the inner workings of a classic #DOS comms package github.com/AaronFriel/qmodem-4

  2. 🚀 GitHub's latest treasure: #QModem 4.51 source code! Because clearly, the world was clamoring for a fresh dose of 1980s #BBS #nostalgia. 🤖 Meanwhile, #GitHub #Copilot promises to write "better" code with AI—because who needs human developers when you have a robot to resurrect your ancient software dreams? 😂

  3. @blakespot In the last month or so, I've restarted my BBS via telnet and started posting beta versions of Qmodem for DOS again! Good times!

  5. @ef1j95 , Do you use the on your Teletype? If so, what baud rate did you set the wimodem to? Now that I've had my restored, I can communicate to my 5150 PC with a null modem cable if I set to 110,7N2 and everything is fine. If I select 8N2, all characters from the 33 have the high bit set and I don't know if this is correct or not.

    Thoughts?

  6. telnet to frieltek.com:2023 as I have started posting beta DOS versions. If you have any problems, let me know.

    Cheers!
