So, hardwarewise I have my m100 talking to my Mac Pro. I can run dlplus,
mcomm, etc on the Mac and then TEENY.CO on the m100. Now, I'd like to
just open up a connection where I can send and receive ascii over the
serial lines. There's a lot of discussion in the Manual about modem
connections, but not much about serial (just the bit to use a null modem
to serial cable). I'm not terribly familiar with serial connections
beyond hooking up my raspi/beaglebone/pal-1 and interacting with them
from the Mac. I just set reasonable defaults in minicom and it just
works (8n1 etc)... I get remote sessions on the remote device that I
control from the Mac terminal. I'm not looking for anything that fancy,
but interaction would be nice.
My questions this go 'round are thus:
1. After hooking up the cables, what do I need to run on either end of
the connection to get a dialog (screen, minicom, etc. on the mac side?
what on the m100?). I'd be fine with a dialog along these lines:
Mac:
Hello there
M100:
Hello there (from the Mac)
Hi back
Mac again:
Hi back (from the m100)
2. Is there a modern-day example I could follow that's not terribly
convoluted? Stuff I've come across involve making changes to /dev/tty on
the mac, a termcap for the m100, etc. While that's on the todo list, I
was thinking more along the lines of:
on the mac:
screen /dev/cu.usbserial-FD310 1200,8n1
on the m100:
in telecom
doitat 1200,8n1
Hello there
Hi back
or something similar...
Thanks,
Will
