minicom works great and is not by nature modem-specific, though the default config does have lots of modem init strings all helpfully rigged to spew a bunch of stuff down the wire to confuse hell out of whatever it is you're talking to.
Hand editing of minicom config files is generally not recommended but if you write the following file (there should be no blank lines in the file and don't include the SNIP lines) into /etc/minirc.dfl you will end up with minicom rigged by default to communicate via /dev/ttyS0 at 115200 baud 8-N-1 with no HW handshake and no modem init strings: ##########SNIP######### # Machine-generated file - use "minicom -s" to change parameters. pr port /dev/ttyS0 pu baudrate 115200 pu bits 8 pu parity N pu stopbits 1 pu minit pu mreset pu mdialpre pu mdialsuf pu mdialpre2 pu mdialsuf2 pu mdialpre3 pu mdialsuf3 pu mconnect pu mnocon1 pu mnocon2 pu mnocon3 pu mnocon4 pu mhangup pu mdialcan pu rtscts No ##########SNIP######### Alternatively, you could write that to /etc/minirc.fubar and then start minicom as: minicom fubar ...to get the same result with out changing the default config. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
