Hi there, nice to see that you're trying to tweak old software to fit on modern screens... still I have a cold shower for you :-) Sorry about it. Not sure where DOS borrowed its "terminal" / console code, whether CP/M or UNIX... the fact is, that in the way of "support", the DOS console lacks

Oh guys, to me the era nowadays is not so much about particular software programs - it's about fond memories of many things blasting off all at once. You probably know what happened by the end of 1989 in DDR, CZ+SK and elsewhere in the eastern bloc. E.g. our neighbors in PL had a bit of an

Hello there Brandon, to me the key question is - what do you expect of Qmodem? What would you like to achieve in / by using that program? I've never used it, but I figure it would be a "terminal emulator" with some added candy. An analog (predecessor, really) of Putty or Hyperterminal in

COM ports at legacy ISA (-like) addresses are still available in a plethora of "industrial"/embedded motherboards and computers in various oddball mechanical form factors. And, quite often there are four or even six of them. Sometimes not all are available at coastline DB9 connectors, some may
