Just found out the WifiModem project allows one to configure Telnet capabilities, which my WiModem232 does not, which is frustrating because I primarily use it with a Tandy M102, which only has a 40x8 LCD and has very slow LCD writes, both of which result in it being very difficult to use some BBSes. Either I have to wait through a (for the M102) huge ANSI art splash page I can't even read, or the connection times out while the modem is sending data to the M102. Telnet can negotiate many of these limitations, which would make the whole shebang a lot more usable for me. |

Espressif publishes a proprietary firmware called ESP-AT. Being actually open source and Apache-licensed makes Zimodem an attractive alternative. Do you know other major differences in the project features or goals?
For example: Zimodem does not appear to support TLS connections. ESP-AT is unlikely to gain support for IRC.
One of my dislikes of ESP-AT is that the modem responses are fairly inconsistent in formatting, which makes the software driver of the modem fairly complicated. I haven't evaluated Zimodem for this but I'm curious if any particular attention has been paid to consistency.
Other projects: This comment compares Zimodem to WiModem (proprietary). There's also WifiModem by David Hansel.
