Thanks for all hints - gkermit seems to be suitable. Unfortunately the Linux-box and the HP don't seem to 'understand' each other - this could be a different baudrate.
* How can I change the baudrate of gkermit (or Debian?) to 9600 baud (= HP48-rate)? * How can I change other parameters (ie CRC, parity xlat)?
