modemu2k is a fork of modemu, originally developed by Toru Egashira (Travis Build status ) What is modemu2k? --------------- modemu2k adds telnet capability to a comm program. It can redirect telnet I/O to a pty so that a comm program can handle the pty as a tty with a real modem, and allows you to use a comm program's scripting and file transfer features over telnet. Maintainer: Andy Alt License: GNU GPL 3 Home page: Other contact/chat room: For Translators ----------- We use Transifex to translate the output messages. To start translating modemu2k, create an account in Transifex and ask to join a translation team (or create a new one) at https://www.transifex.com/na-309/modemu2k/ Compilation ----------- ./configure Use ./configure --help to see extra options make `make install` is optional. The binary can be run from the src/ directory. (installation is required to use the translations.) Making SOCKSified or Termified Modemu2k may require changes to src/Makefile.am. Sample Usage ------------ Note: while in the program if backspace doesn't work, use CTRL+H. 1) Stand alone usage Invoked with no option, modemu2k modemu2k reads from standard input and writes to standard output. Input > atd"localhost (prompt ">" is not shown) You will see your host's login prompt (if a server is running). When you disconnect, you will get "NO CARRIER" indication. Then input > at%q to quit modemu2k. 2) With a comm program (This example uses minicom as the comm program) Invoke with "-c" option, modemu2k -e "AT%B0=1%B1=1&W" -c "minicom -l -tansi -con -p %s" From within the comm program, if you have a server running, you can enter atd"localhost to connect. You could also connect to a BBS. Here's a list of telnet-enabled bulletin board systems: To quit modemu2k, just quit the comm program. (*) Almost all file xfer protocols require 8bit through connection, which means Modemu2k must be in the binary transmission mode. See %B command description in the man page. More details are in the QuickStart guide A man page is also available.
