Hi YAll,
I have finally got a package to release for the linux community,
termpkg. This package is a telnet like client/server that allows you to
connect to another machines serial ports over a tcp/ip network. The
client can also connect to telnet servers and the server will accept
connections from telnet clients.
When the two are used together, you can select the device, and set
baudrate and port settings of the device. By using variuos IP ports, the
parameters can be pre-set for you through the standard inetd.conf and
services files and a file called termsrvd.conf.
I have found it to be a handy means of using the modem on my machine by
connecting to localhost. Along w/ color-xterm, it makes for a great vt100
terminal emulator w/ scroll bars.
I have been using this program at work for a number of months so the
serious bugs have been worked out. Though there still remains a couple of
little ones that make for inconveniences but so far it seems quite usable.
If it weren't, I'd have to give up using Linux on my machine as it is what
makes it possible to connect up to the equipment I need to.
