    This may be of interest to those who are running VICE to emulate a Commodore 64 and using tcpser to bridge serial I/O to the internet:

    There seems to be an isssue with how tcpser encodes the carrier status (see post from lemon64.com below), affecting serial file transfers.

    I have tried a few of the many forks of tcpser (including the fozztexx one and Jim Brain's original code) and none of them worked when trying to transfer files.

    Discussion: lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.ph

    The solution to the problem was to use a different tool to "bridge" the serial communication: TCPSerial.jar which is a Java based implementation of tcpser. It is an updated version of Jim Brain's Java codebase (tcpser4j) to work with Java 21:

    Using this tool instead of the original, C code based tcpser made it possible to finally transfer files using x/ymodem.

    I thought I should let you know ... 🤔
