What terminal emulation programs are available?
(Peter A. Schuman, Howard Goldstein) The leading CP/M public domain or freeware (author kept copyright but distributed it for free) modem programs are: MDM740 – The last of the “MDMxxx” programs. IMP245 – This is nice, and works smoothly within what it does. What it does, it does very well. IF you have slow floppy drives, there is a patch to cut down the receive buffer size. MEX114 – different from the above two, but minimally functional with just a MDM740 overlay. To use all of its fine features, you need MEX overlay for your machine. ZMP15 – This program includes ZMODEM file transfers. KERMIT – This program may have the widest implementation base because it uses only printable characters for its file transfers. This is a plus because the MODEM7 family of protocols send binary characters that sometimes conflict with the underlying system use. It is a minus because many more characters must be sent and thus is slower. KERMIT may be found on watsun.cc.columbia.edu. QTERM43F – This is so
