  • Qmodem source code released!

    From poindexter FORTRAN@21:4/122 to All on Sun May 4 21:11:15 2025
    Qmodem source code released by the author's son...

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

    The source code release of QModem 4.51, 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.
