Indeed. I'm looking for something that'd let me run "something"
(FroDo) under "something" (DOSbox in Linux) and still believe
it's talking to a standard COM port and modem.
Ummm.. Interested.Hmm, doesn't DOSBox offer this already?

I don't know about DOSBox, but dosemu does.

Bink worked for me, and when I had my point running GIGO (the point-snip-
was spun off the original BBS), Bink's bidirectional transfer protocol saved a lot of time, with a lot of mail travelling in both directions,
FD had a nice setup screen, status screen, and there was more it to a
the time,
which I don't recall all the details. Alot of it had to do with actual operation of the queue(s) etc, but that is a rough recolection at best.
especially in the earlier days, when I was running 2400 bps. Was interesting seeing bot RxD and Txd lights on continuously. :)
I was a big fan of GIGO at the time. :)
I got hooked into the beta testing of it early on, and it was like FD
it worked
better than what was the big work horse of this at the time, I think UFGATE??
GIGO was just awesome. I had to be doing this on something for awhile before GIGO came along..hmmm.. I had a uucp account with Telerama for a long time. Matter of fact I think I was like one of the last few they
were allowing to keep the darn things! I 'd love to see the code of
this revived for Linux. It won't be me as a I don't touch C.
Yeah, all are dead, as are the [amateur|Part 97] packet radio to
FTN
gating
systems
that were around in the 90s. :(
Really?? None of those survived? Hmm I would have thought some of that stuff in the packet world of Amateur radio would continue on. I never
got into that as at that time you still needed 5WPM CW, and my brain
just didn't then and doesn't know work for CW. I moved on to build much bigger radios sytems in numerous states.
Sadly, GIGO is abandonware. Someone
would have to rewrite a clone from the ground up. :(
I think source was released, but then the sites that had it disappeared and they who wrote seems to be rather against discussing any part of
GIGO, as the site I found mentioned pretty much "Don't boterh me about GIGO!"
My lab notes for testing have things like FD, BGFAX under DOSBox on the list, I
just have so many things going on right now the list never seems to shrink!
much "Don't boterh me about GIGO!"
I'd wonder if The Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive https://archive.org would have pages with the source code
Nope, don't touch that thing with a 100000000000000000000000000000000 mile pole. Linux, BSD, Unix, VAX/VMS, S3|400, z/OS, z/VM, bring it on.
I don't do windows!
I prefer native 100% Linux, only. Thanks.
That looks similar to my list of OSes I am familiar with, and I don't
do Windows, either. Well, except on an old laptop that does not
connect to anything else just to play my old SimCity games. :)

Well, I do run dosemu and old dos stuff on my nix box. :)
