Bridging the gap between the Atari 8-bit era and modern networks.
ModemBridge is a lightweight, cross-platform system tray application designed to seamlessly bridge modern network connections with legacy BBS environments. Built from the ground up using Qt 6, it takes the headache out of connecting retro hardware to modern SSH and Telnet-based bulletin board systems.
More than just a simple tunnel, ModemBridge acts as a full-fledged AT command parser and multi-port connection manager, allowing you to easily route serial traffic and manage legacy handshakes entirely in the background.
✨ Core Features
🌐 "Fleet Command" Web UI: ModemBridge hosts its own responsive, dark-themed Web Dashboard accessible right from your browser (desktop or mobile). The Web UI provides a live WebSocket link to your hardware, featuring:
Real-time Terminal Output: Monitor TX/RX traffic live.
Interactive Phonebook: Search your BBS directory and dial out with a single click.
