My next thing in the Rust world is Z-modem but beyond that I'm also looking into legendary S-modem after I get Z-modem first in shape:

Back in the day S-modem enabled to download your games and porn, and chat with the sysop while doing it ;-)

software products of finnish software company arisoft. it is fun observation that the whole serial link thing that they had on-going is generation over what people use today when they connect TTL-USB-cable. Arisoft had a MS-DOS software in the early 90s that made possible to "smurf" your way in through the serial and have simultaneous file transfer at the same time. multitasking is imho the future.

so when i look at this web page i'm literally not looking into the past but to one generation ahead in the hopefully not so distant future.
