   My first attempt at GUI programming. I think for me the one big advantage to   
   being   
   able to write an app with a GUI is that maybe my nephews and nieces will be   
   more   
   interested in software I develop! :)

   Thanks. :)

   That must be the same one. The copyright info in the source indicates 1996. I   
   can't say I understand the code much, but I was able to make it ipv6 capable,   
   fixed some warnings, and made sure it would compile with gcc 10 (made sure it   
   compiles with the -fno-common flag), and added a configure script (with   
   autoconf).   
      
   I actually got some very nice feedback from the sysop of the Rusty Mailbox last   
      
   year. He said he noticed it come through filegate and tried it out. He was a   
   regular use of modemu but it stopped working for him. It worked for him after   
   my   
   updates :)

   Sure, I wasn't really recommending you switch from whatever you use now, just   
   me   
   shamelessly advertising a little. More fun to maintain software when people   
   know   
   about it.   
      
   Though I think rmw you'd definitely have a use for! Great for anyone who works   
   at   
   the command line when they are tired. ;)   
      
   Are you working on any interesting projects these days, Maurice?
