modemu2k's Introduction
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.

Translation
-----------
If you're interested in translating the output messages for modemu2k,
see the [TRANSLATE.md](TRANSLATE.md) document.
Compilation
-----------
./configure
Use ./configure --help to see extra options
make
`make install` is optional. The binary can be run from the src/
directory.
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 XC as the comm program)
Invoke with "-c" option,
> modemu2k -c "xc -l tty%s"
you see XC runs. Go to the terminal mode and input
> atd"localhost
Yes, modemu2k makes the comm program a telnet client.
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.
