Machine-independent client software will load
machine-dependent drivers on-the-fly.
- Simplified user-interface
for professionals and hackers(techies, wizards).
- Rich client-driver interfaces
to implement machine-independent communication tools easily.
Client-driver interfaces are perfectly documented.
- Two big supplements: "The Song of TSR" and
"A picture introducing members of ESD".
Included softwares:
- SIAM(Serial-line Interface Application Module), demand-loadable serial driver
- grass, demand-loadable multi-event timer driver
- term, a simple terminal
- yad, yet another dialer
- rdial, background dialer
- mais, SIAM baudrate/protocol setup
- m, query tool for account database
- t, send process output directly to serial line
- rlts, serial line status watcher
- zmsiam, ZMODEM binary-transfer protocol
- transiam, Transit binary-transfer protocol (for ASCII-net BBS, in Japan)
Target hardware:
PCAT compatibles, or NEC PC-98 compatibles (DOS required).
Distribution:
All documents are written in Japanese.
Download it as binary file: siamset1.lzh (195KBytes)

yacnn, yet another unread news checker
mola, pocketbell text->DTMF encoder
Features:
- All major pocketbells are supported: NTTDocomo senti,
NTTDocomo palfee, NTTDocomo pagingtalk, TTM mola, TTM nicoto,
are supported.
Other pocketbells which use similar encoding method are also
supported: TTM colombo.
- Automatic best encoding: always finds the shortest DTMF encoding
possible.
- Multi-platform: veryfied to work on UNIX variants and DOS.
You can easyly port since whole source code is available. (as always)
Distribution:
All documents are written in Japanese, since these pocketbells are available
in Japan only.

MHng: MH the next generation
Goals:
- Incorporate advanced features to MH: MIME multipart, and so forth.
- Easy to install: no compiler option edit for install.
- Easy to use: mhn is too hard...
- Mostly-the-same user interface: for seamless transition.
- Targetted to proper i18n handling: we are waiting for your
experience in your native languages!
Target OS:
UNIX variants with perl.
(may work on some other platforms that have perl, but I'm not sure)
What we already have:
ali comp folder folders folderpack inc
mhngcleanup mhpath mmmerge mmsplit pick
refile repl scan show forw next prev
rmm
- composers(comp/forw/repl) and readers (show) are
MIME capable.
- pick uses RPN expression.
- rmm refiles to +trash folder, actual removal
will be done by mhngcleanup invoked as nightly cleanup
process.
- inc supports local spool file and APOP protocol.
