Re: Using serial port

[Al Sparks <data345 yahoo com>]

I'd just like to say, as someone who was just "lurking", that this
advice about minicom was great.  I had been trying to redirect input
from ttyS0 to a file using
   $ cat /dev/ttyS0 >> somefile
and all I was getting was garbage.  I was in the process of trying to
figure out stty settings, when I saw the post of Michael Mansour
and Joe Polk suggesting minicom.

I had posted my own question on this subject before in February, and
Gene Yoo also suggested minicom, but I had forgotten about that,
focusing on the "cat" solution Cameron Simpson had suggested.  It
looks like Gene has since switched to gtkterm (or maybe he uses both).

Minicom is great.  If you've ever used Procomm (the old DOS version,
not Procomm Plus for Windows), then using minicom will be a snap.  The
interface is similar.

Anyway, thanks.
