For future reference, I keep a tarball of this (plus a distribution with bit of stuff to build a Docker image) in my bucket[1]. It's a touch easier to install for folks who don't use Debian-based packaging. > Cool - kinda like a python dlplus... Is this the same mcomm you're referring > to? Python mComm is a fairly recent innovation. I think many folks who use mComm are referring to the Android or Windows software of the same name. I don't have Android or Windows so I can't speak to the feature set of those particular implementations but as far as I'm aware Python mComm doesn't have modem emulation. A cursory examination of the code doesn't show anything that looks like it. One of mComm's differentiating features is special support for the Sardine[2] dictionary image. I don't believe other TPDD emulators have Sardine disk image support. > Is there a man page somewhere? If there is, I haven't found it.

It does raw sector access of a specially-formatted TPDD disk containing the dictionary.
