How do I do this now in the high tech era? In the Linux world check out Minicom, or Kermit (cross platform). Not seen a "cu" clone (cu was a Unix utility) but I'm sure one must exist ;-) Kermit is old but it inspires similar devotion in it's adherents as vi or emacs, so I assume it has some really powerful stuff under the hood. On the upside it is the only serial comms app I've ever used that produces meaningful error messages! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/JwBWGFXfHI9FVgYRAl78AJ9P3tAuXW1eNSfzC5OfH5VK2vki6gCfb9XR zlV7ZrTZDtr98XNymZ+FD9E= =gsF2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
