Thanks for the reply. Yeah I checked out minicom. It seems like it is the way to go. As for putty, it is quite nice but I was looking for something really powerful with debugging and file sending capabilities. It seems like minicom is the only option there. I had completely forgotten, something said in one of the other emails prompted to ol' brain cells to regurgitate this: seyon: Seyon is a complete full-featured modem communications package for the X Window System. It does zmodem as well. It may be more useful than minicom for you. -- Bob McGowan smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

It's not the only option, but perhaps the easiest to get working. I use cu quite a bit, a very lean option originally from the uucp system (aka tip on other systems), particular where running it under a scripted wrapper, e.g., with expect or Perl's Expect module. It's also possible to drive the serial port directly via terminal or shell, but maybe a bit tough to get the stty settings configured correctly, something that minicom does for you.

Basically I want to access the console interface of a network interface device using RS-232. I am pretty sure linux/unix has built in support for this but how does it work? Do I just plug it in? Where do I set the baud rate? And I usually need to transfer files via the 1K Xmodem protocol. Do I need an external software for this? At work we use windows terminals to access these devices (using built in HyperTerminal program or PuTTY). But I would like to recommend the use of debian etch. Thanks!

File transfer via the rzsz package that integrates into minicom. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
