From: Martin Schoffstall <schoff@bbn-unix> does anyone have a modem7 implementation for the ibmpc that is written either in *.asm or *.c? I want to talk to umodem, currently I am doing this through InterComm but I would like a stand alone program that did it something I could say XFER filename and if I was logged in would transfer the file to an 11/44 where it could be printed. thanks marty

Can someone tell me what the fastest speed modem7 and work at with a direct link between computers? Thanks. Jim Reece REECE@NADC

From: brian beattie <beattie@mitre-gateway> Hi, Can anyone tell me how to get source for a cpm modem7 program I recall something about simtel20 but can't find anything there. can't dir "LIST" to peruse. Thanx beattie at mitre-gateway

Brian - In response to your query concerning where to find source to modem7,
here is my standard blurb describing access to the CP/M archives on Simtel20.
The programs you want are in the directory MICRO:<CPM.MODEM7>.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a collossal amount of free public domain CP/M software
in three archives on SIMTEL20, a PDP-20 running TOPS-20 at
White Sands Missile Range. To get directory listings, crank up FTP
with user-name ANONYMOUS and password FTP (or any non-null
string) and then do the following:
get "micro:<cpm>cpm.crclst" local_file_name
get "micro:<cpmug>cpmug.crclst" local_file_name
get "micro:<sigm>sigm.crclst" local_file_name
bye
The first will get you a directory of the cpm archive that was moved
from mit-mc. This is the one to watch for the very latest offerings as it is
updated frequently. The second is the full offering of the CP/M
Users Group. It (and the third archive) will be updated as new disks are
issued. The third is the full offering of the Special Interest Group for
Microcomputers, a service of the Amateur Computer Group of New
Jersey. There are many overlaps in the three archives, but you will
find the lastest versions in the <cpm> archive. In general, the archived
software is very good, having been worked-over and refined by multiple users.
The comments tend to be complete and imformative. Examples of typical file
retrievals follow:
get "micro:<cpm.ccp> autox.asm" autox.asm
get "micro:<cpmug.vol001>assign.asm" assign.asm
get "micro:<sigm.vol001>ad.com" ad.com
All files in the CPMUG and SIGM archives have been stored in a
binary format that had its roots at mit-mc. To retrieve any of these files
you must use FTP in TENEX mode. If your FTP server doesn't do
TENEX use type L8 (which does the same thing). You will have to
discard the first four bytes from every program you obtain from either of
these archives. This is because the binary format used for storage has the
identifier DSK8 in sixbit code at the beginning of each file. To strip
the first four bytes, you can use either your host's utilities or a CP/M
program called ITSCVT.HEX, which can be found in directory
<cpm.hex>. Files in the <cpm> archive are stored in two formats,
ASCII for DOC, HEX and ASM files, and ITS binary (as
described above) for COM and "squeezed" files. Squeezed files have been
compressed using the programs available in directory <cpm.squsq> to obtain
approximately a 35-percent size reduction. These files, which can be
identified by the letter Q in the filetype field (for example, the file
micro:<cpm.z2doc>z2con.wq is a squeezed file) must be transferred as binary
files and then unsqueezed. The unsqueezing can be done on the CP/M
system using USQ-20.COM (or whatever is the current version) from
directory <cpm.squsq>, or there are several host-based unsqueezers in the
<cpm> archive (see for example, directory <cpm.tops20>). One last comment:
In all of the above examples the quote-characters are there for the benefit
of UNIX users. Other operating systems may not need (or may have trouble
with) these quotes. Happy hacking!
