Since no one seems to have spoken up, I would like to inform
everyone that there is a complete implementation of the MODEM7
protocol for TOPS20. Its written in MACRO, adn is FTPable from
SIMTEL20 in the file MICRO:MODEM.MAC...
This was originally written by myself, and with some help from
Frank Wancho and Keith Peterson now also has full MODEM7 capability
including CRC mode, Batch (multiple file) transfers, and dialout mode.
It can store either 7 bit ascii, 8 bit binary or "ITS binary" files
on a 2060 when uploading, and automatically recognize these types
when downloading. No format translations are done, so if MACPUT/
MACGET does any of that kind of thing, it will have to be added.
(someone tell me what should be done!)
Oh, and it tries to be somewhat efficient, like reading one
128 character string per block instead of 128 bytes...
Enjoy
