  • cs-www-users-fisher

    Source code previously available at https://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~fisher/

  • This will get you started:

    Tony Fisher wrote V.32 soft modem stack for SGI Indy back in 1996. York University couldnt handle hosting whole 8 megabytes of his stuff https://www.cs.york.ac.uk/news/fisher/home-page but at least they had the decency to upload it to github instead of just deleting https://github.com/university-of-york/cs-www-users-fisher/tr... Randy Rossi rewrote this project and got working V.21/23 https://github.com/randyrossi/fisher-modem

    Fabrice Bellard, because of course he did :), implemented his own version all the way to V.34 with parts of V.90 https://bellard.org/linmodem/

    V.21 modem implemented in Gnu Radio https://web.archive.org/web/20170627151353/http://aaronscher...

    amodem - good source of ready made modulation implementations https://github.com/romanz/amodem

    minimodem- simple radio link FSK modem https://github.com/kamalmostafa/minimodem

    audsl - leased line project, not compatible with standard modems https://www.araneus.fi/audsl/ but might give some ideas.
