Yes, there is an easy way of getting started with MODEM2 or MODEM7.
It's a program called MBOOT. It's relatively short (about 6k) of
source code for a receive-only (no-frills) version of Ward's MODEM2
program. It's easily typed in on the target machine. All that's
required is knowledge of the port number being used, the bits to test for
send and receive. It assumes that you have already initialized the
port for the desired baud rate, 8 data bits, one stop bit, and no
parity. This is a bit more preparation than using the simple PIP HEX
file approach, but after it's up and running you can transfer any
program fast and with full error checking. After you get MBOOT
running you can use it to get MODEM7 and you'll have full batch
transfer capability. MBOOT is available on MIT-MC as:
AR60:CPM;MBOOT 3ASM
It is also available on every RCPM system across the country, and has
been published in Dr. Dobbs Journal.
