What about "screen"
In included in Astlinux. On my Mac I use "screen /dev/tty.usbserial 
19200" to access serial devices. Try "screen -?" for options.

[Astlinux-users] Probably a stupid question

2008-12-25 Thread John Novack

But here goes:
I have Astlinux  ( Geni586 ) successfully running on a few HP T55xx and 
57xx thin clients. There is a need to connect through the mostly unused 
serial port to a ( Cisco ) router.
Is there any sort of comm facility in the standard distribution that 
would allow one through ssh to access the serial port?
It appears that microcom, a busybox tool, isn't rolled into the standard 
distribution, I assume to save space.

Any other choice?
