  • Novell TELAPI

    From Jcurtis to All on Tue May 27 15:08:11 2025
    TELAPI INT14 support with DOS Telemate BIOS support works. Telemate Kermit is too slow at 300 CPS, but Zmodem is normal at about 15,000 CPS. That gives me a way to do it all without the extra step of FTP.

    As for why TELAPI fails with the direct DOS Kermit to DOS Kermit over TELAPI, maybe it's the limited set of control characters prefixed in your config. They say that can cause issues. But after 20 years untouched, I wouldn't ask you to change it now. :)

    DOS Telemate BIOS support works

    But the ANSI emulation has problems. Too bad the old DOS shareware is not open source.

    Qmodem was recently open-sourced:

    But yes, most old DOS shareware source code is just going to be lost to time, unfortunately. :-(

    That's what I used way back when. All I know about git is that it does
    not keep file timestamps. Even RCS can do that.
