I only used QModem after it was purchased by Mustang Software but still have great memories! I was actually blown away by ZModem as a protocol when I first used it. How far we've come! This was a really interesting and innovative time period for computing and communications in general.

I missed that this was your father and can't edit my post! Much condolences for your loss. Your dad built something amazing.
