Anyone remember modemu and believe it still might be useful in some
cases? I'm not the original developer, but I revived it a few years
ago (made it ipv6 capable for one example). It's new name is
[modemu2k](https://github.com/theimpossibleastronaut/modemu2k) and any
feedback would be appreciated. I'm not too enthused about working on
it at the moment since there are already so many programs that can do
telnet + ssh, etc, but of course the unique aspect of modemu2k is that
it can work with comm programs that don't otherwise have telnet
capability, such as minicom. What do you think? Should I retire the
project or keep it open, available for contributions and future
improvements and bug fixes?

Sounds like it could be helpful in a few circumstances. Whether you
want to continue working on it is I guess a matter for you, it's your
hobby. If you want to hand over the reins, maybe seek that out as you
sound a bit fatigued.. nothing worse than good software just dying
because the owner got tired out and didn't hand the baton on.

Thanks for the perspective. I'm not in any hurry to make a decision
one way or the other. It doesn't really take up much of my time right
now anyway, and I'll do my best to keep it from dying! :)
