# modemu2k v0.1.0
modemu2k is a fork of modemu, originally developed by Toru Egashira
(Build status
<https://github.com/theimpossibleastronaut/modemu2k/actions/workflows/c-cpp.yml>)
## 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. Now supports IPv6 connections.

Dependencies
------------
* gettext (optional, for translations)
* flex
Compilation
-----------
meson builddir
cd builddir
Use `meson configure` to see extra options
ninja
`ninja install` is optional. The binary can be run from the build
directory; however, installation is required to use the translations,
and to create and install a script (m2k-minicom) that can invoke
minicom (see below).
## 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 [port]
(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, to
connect you can enter:
atd"localhost
You could also connect to a BBS. For some telnet addresses, see:
* The Rusty Mailbox (telnet to [trmb.ca](https://trmb.ca/), port 2030)
* [Synchronet BBS List](https://www.synchro.net/sbbslist.html)
To quit modemu2k, just quit the comm program.
A script to invoke minicom as mentioned above will be installed to
your bin directory when `make install` is run.
## Escaping to command mode and returning
To escape to command mode, use '+++'. Use ATO to return to online mode.
## Hanging up a call/closing a connection
If you are connected to a server where gracefully logging out isn't
possible, to "hang up" or close the connection you can escape to command
mode and enter 'ATH`.
## Extra Notes
(*) 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
<https://github.com/theimpossibleastronaut/modemu2k/blob/master/QuickStart>
A man page is also available.
