This is the code to accompany two blog-posts I wrote about transfering data between computers using a jury rigged sound-card modem.

Note that these programs are mainly educational, and if you want to do this in a critical situation, you'll at the very least want to add Hamming-code or some other error correction scheme.

The source code consists of a multitude of programs.

• playback and record plays and record a data stream using OSS. If you don't have OSS support, ALSA can emulate it with the 'aoss' wrapper.
• generate turns a binary file into raw wave data.
• generate_psk does the same, except encoding it with phase shift keying.
• analyze turns a recording into data again
• analyze_psk does it for PSK-encoded data.

However, due to changes tot he blogspot platform, the formatting doesn't work very well. I've joined the two into one well-formatted article:

The code is public domain.
