My condolences on your loss. I used QModem in the early 90s downloading shareware and the like. I just looked through my floppy disk holder and found a 3 1/2 inch floppy from 1992 with QModem on it :) Your dad’s contribution to the BBS scene was huge and it was an important part of my own journey into computing.

Add me to the list of early 90s QModem users! Just looked it up now and was reminded of the various download protocols like ZModem and Kermit. I haven't thought of those for years! When I used them, I don't think I even knew what a protocol was!

RIP JF.
