From VMODEM.TXT:

====================================
WHAT IS VMODEM

Vmodem is a software implementation of a modem, referred to as a Virtual
Modem.  Basically, it attempts to fake out other software (like terminal
programs) into believing they are accessing a real modem.  Vmodem will turn
any Terminal into a Telnet Client, and any BBS into a Telnet Server.
====================================

So, if you need a program to access a web site - no good.  If you're trying
to access a dial-up connection - no good.  But, if TT has a telnet
server...can do.
