   does that mean open sourcing it? vmodem needs some serious work to be on the   
   public internet. i have vmodem partially reverse engineered .. it has a few   
   undocumented DosDevIOCtl calls to turn the emulated DCD, etc on and off and I   
   could really use the source to figure it out..   
      
   also, i thought that netlabs was already in talks with him? all of that code   
   is in assembly and they'd be able to maintain/improve it for ArcaOS, OS4, etc
