Zimodem firmware on nodeMCU?

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Hi everyone,
I'm interested in building a serial modem that allows me to transfer files from an old mac classic to midern conputer on my LAN.

I have a couple of questions:

A - can I load zimodem firmware on a nodeMCU device?
B - once configured can I us the modem to perform a PPP connection to a pppd daemon on a pi3? This way I'll enjoy a full tcp/ip session and trasfer files directly on the pi3 (or elsewhere on the LAN) via ftp

Thanks in advance

Marco

P.s. sorry if this sounds as a stupid question but I'm quite a newbie

A) Yes, the esp12e is supported. One of the pin assignments is different than the 8266, but yes.
B) I have no idea what you mean, but I think no. The modem maintains its own tcp/ip stack -- that's kinda the whole point of the project, to push the socket work off the computer to the ESP device.
