+modemu2k is a fork of modemu, originally developed by Toru Egashira
+
+(Travis Build status
+<https://travis-ci.org/theimpossibleastronaut/modemu2k>)
+
+
+What is modemu2k?
+---------------
+
+modemu2k adds telnet capability to a comm program. It can redirect
+telnet I/O to a pty so that a comm program can handle the pty as a tty
+with a real modem, and allows you to use a comm program's scripting
+and file transfer features over telnet.

+
+For Translators
+-----------
+
+We use Transifex to translate the output messages. To start translating
+modemu2k, create an account in Transifex and ask to join a translation
+team (or create a new one) at
+https://www.transifex.com/na-309/modemu2k/
+
+
+Compilation
+-----------
+
+./configure
+    Use ./configure --help to see extra options
+
+make
+
+`make install` is optional. The binary can be run from the src/
+directory. (installation is required to use the translations.)
+
+Making SOCKSified or Termified Modemu2k may require changes to
+src/Makefile.am.
+
+
+Sample Usage
+------------
+
+Note: while in the program if backspace doesn't work, use CTRL+H.
+
+1) Stand alone usage
+
+  Invoked with no option,
+
+      modemu2k
+
+  modemu2k reads from standard input and writes to standard output.
+  Input
+
+  > atd"localhost
+
+  (prompt ">" is not shown) You will see your host's login prompt
+  (if a server is running). When you disconnect, you will get "NO
+  CARRIER" indication. Then input
+
+  > at%q
+
+  to quit modemu2k.
+
+2) With a comm program
+
+  (This example uses minicom as the comm program)
+
+  Invoke with "-c" option,
+
+      modemu2k -e "AT%B0=1%B1=1&W" -c "minicom -l -tansi -con -p %s"
+
+  From within the comm program, if you have a server running, you can enter
+
+      atd"localhost
+
+  to connect. You could also connect to a BBS. Here's a list of
+  telnet-enabled bulletin board systems: <http://www.synchro.net/sbbslist.html>
+
+  To quit modemu2k, just quit the comm program.
+
+(*) Almost all file xfer protocols require 8bit through connection,
+which means Modemu2k must be in the binary transmission mode.  See %B
+command description in the man page.
+
+More details are in the QuickStart guide
+<https://github.com/theimpossibleastronaut/modemu2k/blob/master/QuickStart>
+
+A man page is also available.
