Good for them.  I haven't run across that version yet, but I'll keep my
eyes open.  I have seen a shareware COMit package that has zmodem
though.  Now if they get up to speed an a script language....

-> Ah, now early RPI was a bit stickey.  But RPI+ does actually work.
-> And there's a proto RPI+/Hardware combo modem about too

See my note earlier about a friend's experience trying to buy ram from a
local computer discount store.  The combination of unsophisticated
customers and unsophisticated salesmen means that a lot of rpi modems
have wound up in the wrong situations.

Heck I've got a hundred or more callers who use non DOS machines.  Have
you seen terminal programs that support rpi for an Atari 8-bit any Sun?

-> Personally, remain to be convinced that WinModem/WinRPI is as

-> thingie.  But I'm willing.  Are you?

It seems I've been down this particular road before.  About 1989 the
Atari computer company added a DSP chip to their computer.  Their
literature indicated that it could be programmed to do all sorts of
things, from sound digitizing, to acting as a modem.  But very few
people bothered to program them to do anything that interested me.

The people who wrote good terminal software ignored them.  So their DSP
chip became a niche in an already small market.

The winmodem seems to be a DSP chip in a box.  If anyone bothers to
program them, I expect they can do wonderful things.  But it looks to me
like they are going to be an awfully small market for quite a long
while.  In the meantime, a lot of us will be doing unpaid product
support.
