Qmodem was my favorite comm program during the BBS days, and it still is today when working with vintage computers. It was just nice to use. Its scripting language was the first I used and I find myself wishing there was a Linux comm program with scripting that worked that well. Long distance calls were expensive so I used a Qmodem script to call BBSs each morning to download my email before school.
Just the last several months I've been using Qmodem scripting to make thousands of modem calls over VoIP to test downloads to see which models and ATAs work best.
After I jumped back into the vintage BBS world I've been keeping an eye out for anything Qmodem. I recently just picked up a Qmodem manual on ebay that I wanted to scan and archive, because it's pretty rare to see.
Not too long ago I saw where John had posted to a FB group he was working on a new DOS version of Qmodem, my first interaction with him. I was excited to see it be worked on again and hoped to see the new version. Sad to see him go.
Huh, interesting. Are you publishing the results of that testing somewhere?
Mac OS is amazing, using a Mac for games is not a good idea. Most AAA, AA, and indie games don't run on Mac.
Mac OS was awful. OS X was amazing. macOS feels like increasingly typical design-by-committee rudderless crapware by a company who wishes it didn't have to exist alongside iOS.
RPKI is obviously half-baked scareware, but why anyone cares what technology the US government, much less "white house" thinks should be used is beyond me

maybe everyone in the world using the same handful of resolver addresses isn't so great for fault tolerance
