[Hackable:1] serial terminal program

2010-08-11 Thread Gay, John (GE Energy Services, Non-GE)
I've been wanting to try using my freerunner as a serial terminal to
debug servers via serial. I've got a USB->serial adapter that H:1
recognizes and assigns to /dev/ttyUSB0. My problem is, minicom won't run
because the shell screen is to small. Mickeyterm fails to find a bunch
of python modules and things via dbus. I've even tried cu -l
/dev/ttyUSB0 but it says the line is busy. Anyone know of a serial
terminal program that does work on H:1?

Cheers,

John Gay

Tried that, but it's too small . . . Is there a microcom? (-=

Actually, it works like a dream! I plugged my USB-> serial adapter from
my FR to an IBM server serial port, ran picocom and was able to log in.
Only problem: The IBM expects the terminal to 80 char X 24 lines and the
terminal on the FR is only 39 char X 24 lines.

Guess I'll see how bad this limit really is when I NEED to use this.

Cheers,

John Gay

My xterm on my FR offers much more characters :-)

The other problem I've noticed with my H:1, if I try to rotate the
screen from the AUX menu, I get the WSOD )-=
A rotated screen should give me enough chars, but I don't know if it'd
do 24 lines.
