COM Terminal in Linux?
Heya! I need a program which will open a 9600 baud terminal on COM1 on the command line in linux.
Like hyperterm in windows, but on the command line. So what should I use? Thanks! -G |
I'm pretty sure the Linux equivalent is KPPP
I have it on my Fedora desktop. Oh sorry, you meant the command line.... doesn't telnet do that? |
Telnet will connect over a network connection to a port on another computer.
I need something for a serial COM port on the computer. -G |
Does it have to be command line? Can it be ncurses based? If so then minicom should do the trick.

I'd still prefer command line. Any other ideas? Thanks! |
Telnet is insecure, but that said, try man telnet in a console.

IMO minicom is exactly what you are looking for. It would be similar to the old DOS Procomm.
ncurses is a programing library for formating characters in a text console A good app with ncurses would be midnight commander. |
i would reccomend minicom as well, i have used it with verry little trouble :)
