As soon as I hit send, I figured it out :).
On the mac:
in Minicom:
serial: /dev/cu.usbserial-FD310 7n1 no flow control
On the M100:
in Telecom
Stat: 57N1D,10pps
hit Term
press FULL (so it goes both ways? otherwise, it seems like I can type on
the M100 and see it on the mac, but not the other direction typing on
the Mac doesn't show up on the M100).
Haven't tried any send receives yet...

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
