A bit overstated, don't you think. Qmodem is a fine program which enabled
many of us to communicate with BBS's easily and conveniently. Many of its
features can be found in Telix and other comm programs (at least at the
user interface if not internally). Qmodem built on PC-talk, which built
on Modem4, Modem7, etc. Naturally, each new effort takes up where the last
one left off.

Incidently, I still find that some (not all) sites that are accessible
with 8N1 with Qmodem or Kermit, require 7E1 with Telix. Not a problem,
just a curiosity.
