qodem (BBS-oriented terminal emulator)
|
|
|
|
qodem is a from-scratch clone implementation of the Qmodem
|
|
communications program made popular in the days when Bulletin Board
|
|
Systems ruled the night. Qodem emulates the dialing directory and
|
|
the terminal screen features of Qmodem over both modem and Internet
|
|
connections.
|
|
|
|
qodem also emulates ATASCII (Atari 8-bit) and PETSCII (Commodore
|
|
8-bit), and can be used to run a local shell.
|
|
|
|
Note: qodem-x11 doesn't handle PETSCII correctly. Instead, launch
|
|
qodem in a terminal with the PETSCII font (adjust the size= to your
|
|
taste):
|
|
|
|
$ urxvt -fn "xft:C64 Pro Mono:size=13" -e qodem
