modemu2k v0.0.6
|
||
-------------------
|
||
|
||
modemu2k is a fork of modemu, originally developed by Toru Egashira
|
||
|
||
(Travis Build status
|
||
<https://travis-ci.org/theimpossibleastronaut/modemu2k>)
|
||
|
||
|
||
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.

|

<https://github.com/theimpossibleastronaut/modemu2k/issues>
|
||
|
||
Dependencies
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
* gettext (unless --disable-nls is used)
|
||
* flex
|
||
|
||
|
||
Compilation
|
||
-----------
|
||
|
||
`./configure`
|
||
Use ./configure --help to see extra options
|
||
|
||
`make`
|
||
|
||
`make install` is optional. The binary can be run from the src/
|
||
directory; however, installation is required to use the translations,
|
||
and to create and install a script (m2k-minicom.sh) 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:
|
||
|
||
* <<Prism BBS<http://filegate.net/>
|
||
* The Rusty Mailbox (telnet to trmb.ca, port 2030)
|
||
* Synchronet BBS List<http://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`.

* FileGate->(Linux Utilities category)<http://www.filegate.net/utiln/utillnx/>
|
||
|
||
(*) 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.

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/
