#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 https://github.com/AaronFriel/qmodem-4.51

🚀 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? 😂

@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! #BBS #PCBoard #DOScember #Qmodem

@ef1j95 , Do you use the #WiModem232 on your Teletype? If so, what baud rate did you set the wimodem to? Now that I've had my #ASR33 restored, I can communicate to my 5150 PC with a null modem cable if I set #Qmodem 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?
