DavidMil Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I need a simple terminal program to test half a dozen old modems to make sure they are working beyond the lights coming on. Everything from a 830 to a Hayes 1200 Smartmodem. As usual I have forgotten way more than I remember. Any help would be appreciated.

+Stephen Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Bobterm, Flickerterm, and Ice-T are the three common ones. Keep in mind, all modems will require an "R:" handler (device driver in modern speak). I know the 1030 modem would load its own driver. I have never used an 830. If you need a collection of drivers, I can provide them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a long time ago we had a program called Kermit too. Any idea what has happened to it?

Would you mind posting that program for me? Failing that, I believe that we used to run Kermit on the old acoustical coupler (830). Thanks, David Milsop Kingwood, Texas .
