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.

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. -Original Message- From: community-boun...@lists.openmoko.org [mailto:community-boun...@lists.openmoko.org] On Behalf Of Timo Juhani Lindfors Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 10:15 AM To: List for Openmoko community discussion Subject: Re: [Hackable:1] serial terminal program Gay, John (GE Energy Services, Non-GE) john@ge.com writes: Actually, it works like a dream!
