Preparing for v0.1 of my #zmodem2 crate: https://github.com/jarkkojs/zmodem2/issues/9. It is heapless and has a context structure that takes less than 2 KB of memory. Not sync but sequential because I want for first version to have just correct implementation of the protocol. Works also in no_std environment.

#rustlang

so soon back to terminal client. given the crate i wonder if concurrent zmodem transfer and TTY session could be shared just by routing all traffic not prefixed zdle [zpad] zpad to that session. sounds so simple that i have doubts that it would work but would be easy way have them happening concurrently.

in any case a lot of complexity of serial file transfers come from the fact that clients launch an external program to take care of it. not because the overall experience could not be overallly more user friendly.

after i get my zmodem crate integrated to my serial tool, the target to go beyond that is to look into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMODEM. there's a pile of stuff that has better taken care of in MS-DOS software (Telemate, Telex, SMODEM etc.) than in the modern day linux stack, i guess i'm a serial port and modem activist :-)
