Qodem 1.0beta Release reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kevinlamonte · 2016-04-22 00:29 I am pleased to announce the release of Qodem 1.0beta. This marks the culmination of 13 years of development with the goal of re-creating one of the very best DOS-era modem terminals into the Internet era for use on modern systems. Its major features include: * Many ways to connect to a system: ssh, telnet, rlogin, raw socket, dialing a modem, using a serial port, or executing a local shell. * Support for BBS-era and modern emulations: ANSI.SYS (including "ANSI music"), Avatar, VT52, VT100/102, VT220, Linux (+ UTF-8), and XTerm (+ UTF-8 and mouse tracking). The VT100, Linux, and Xterm-based emulations have been run through the gauntlet of 'vttest'. * A Unicode-based display, including translation of DOS and Windows 8-bit character sets (CP437, CP850, Windows 1252, and many more), the VT100 DEC Special Graphics characters, and the VT220 National Replacement Character sets to Unicode. * The classic serial file transfer protocols Xmodem, Ymodem, Zmodem, and Kermit. * Terminal interface conveniences including a long scrollback buffer, capture file, screen dump, dialing directory, and keyboard macros. * External script support. ANY program that reads stdin and writes to stdout and stderr can be run as a script. * A host mode that provides a micro-BBS with messages, files, and sysop chat. In addition to answering a modem call, it can also listen on a raw socket, act as a telnet or ssh daemon, and even use UPnP to work seamlessly behind a home NAT router.

Though I sincerely hope that you do not encounter any bugs while using Qodem, it might happen. If you would like to report a problem at either of the links below, there is a good chance I can find it and fix it for the final 1.0 release. * https://github.com/klamonte/qodem/issues * https://sourceforge.net/p/qodem/bugs/ **License** This is the first formal release of Qodem using the public domain codebase. The source code to Qodem was dedicated to the public domain on May 26, 2015, with a CC-0 fallback license for those jurisdictions that do not recognize the public domain. Due to inclusion of other pieces in the binary releases, the binary versions of Qodem have an effective license matching either MIT/BSD terms or GPLv3 terms, depending on whether or not cryptlib is included. See the README file for further details. **EDIT:** Already had a critical bug found in the source tarball. :-) If you downloaded it last night and it is failing to build due to missing libcl.a, that should be fixed now. (Or you can pass '--disable-ssh' to configure to bypass cryptlib and be fine too.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2016-04-22 00:56 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- digimer · 2016-04-22 01:26 Oh, I wish I had time to play with this! All the best, I hope others give good feedback! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ellisgl · 2016-04-22 03:35 A virus scan hit a positive: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/0a8448 158fe00ea8bb4ef1f2ad98d94bb4be528eee28875c5ec54419d7a48fb6/analysis/14 61287653/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mro_1337 · 2016-04-22 04:09 thank you for your continued development. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mro_1337 · 2016-04-22 04:11 scanned with microsoft security essentials and avast and no virus found in that executable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kevinlamonte · 2016-04-22 10:13 It's a false positive, looks like several InnoSetup's out there are getting it. I've added an issue to ensure 1.0.0 spins on the latest InnoSetup available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ellisgl · 2016-04-22 15:18 Well it's only 1 of 52 of the virus scanners that showed it. I'm sure it's a false positive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ellisgl · 2016-04-22 15:19 > I've added an issue to ensure 1.0.0 spins on the latest InnoSetup available. Yeah I kind of figured it was a false positive. Ah! Stupid InnoSetup!
