So the journey continues and today I can fully confirm that ZHEX data transfer is coming to my terminal. On the way to complete ‘rz’ in my little homebrew development.

I finally started to understand its logic!

Звоним через полстраны по dial-up модему в 2025 году

Приветствую всех! Многие из нас застали лично и всё ещё помнят «модемную» эпоху. И даже мне самому доводилось ими пользоваться, а много позже я писал про то, каково в нынешних реалиях сидеть в интернете через старый аналоговый модем. Но вот мне стало интересно: а как насчёт попробовать позвонить не через мини-АТС, а на модем в другом районе или даже в другом городе? Именно этим мы сейчас и займёмся. Итак, в сегодняшней статье проверим на практике, реально ли заставить два модема связаться друг с другом в наши дни заката эпохи медных линий. Узнаем, насколько стабильным будет соединение и будет ли оно вообще. Традиционно будет много интересного.

Running a #bbs on a #raspberrypi Model 1 B+ gives you a touch of #1990s #UX as the #zmodem download (via lrzsz) of a 12MB file takes about 27 minutes to finish.

P.S.: glad that mom's not home 🤣 ...

P.P.S.: that was a joke, the Pi is connected via onboard ethernet - not via phone

Well, what do you know, you *can* revive the old days 😉

The next #Forth program I write on the HP #200LX will be #uuencode / #uudecode so I can transfer binary files to/from hosts that don't support #zmodem. #HP200LX

Xmodem transfer using Tiny Transfer and screen.

This will save a lot of time/effort swapping SD cards back and forth.

Checking stability of the Amiga and the wifi modem by downloading a "huge" file (130 megabytes!) overnight at 19200 bps.

No errors, still running, but it's totally broken the time estimate and percentage complete counters.

I should publish this humble and not so exciting crate (stalled since Dec) and now I found the motivating factor. I make it compile with gccrs.

Maybe this will leads to contributions, who knows, or epic failure but should be interesting and exciting in all cases :-)

The stimulus obviously comes from GCC 14 release, which has the first experimental version of gccrs. And in my free time I do prefer GPL licensed code base for utilities and apps over MIT/Apache, so gccrs makes more sense for me than rustc in that sense (and not judging other viewpoints, it is my personal and subjective preference).

For both integration tests of my #ZMODEM crate and also for keyutils Gitlab #CI I’ve been looking for solution to implement transparent serial file transfer.

#QEMU allows trivially to convert serial port to UNIX domain socket but it is not natively supported by sz but with a little bit of socat magic it can be apparently converted quite easily again to PTY:

socat -d UNIX-CONNECT:output/images/serial.sock  PTY,raw,echo=0,link=output/images/ptyC0

This allows to drop SSH support completely from BuildRoot config, which makes it much more appealing for automated CI.

I think I fixup lookup tables for escaping #zmodem traffic by intercepting traffic from lrzsz with “defacto” parameters, i.e. send large chunk of uniform distributed random data. That way I can be sure that I have all the cases, including those not in the specification form 1988.

Later on I can use that as a CI test for my crate. Sort of fuzzing approach. I just need to record all bytes that follow ASCII 24 and that builds my table.
