What terminal software for ttySx do you use on Linux - Ubuntu in my case? I remember there was a program called minicom, but it doesn't seem to be in the packages.

    Tzz.. GtkTerm isn't in the packages either, and running the BST terminal from a Makefile is probably impossible. It looks like I have to build something from source smile.gif

    PLease Explain : I first used SUSE for fun to trial. My only other experience was Mac and window. I was suprissed back in 2000 that in installing SUSE it recognised everthing like my two printers and my dialup modem , without me having to get involved .It all simply workrd.

    Ive just instaled Puppy on an old laptop, its good fast but will not work my gprsm modem. Shame.     jumpin.gifscool.gifskull.gifskull.gifskull.gifskull.gif

    There are three ways to install software, the first is the Ubuntu software center listed in the Applications menu.

    Or go to system->administration->synaptic package manager.
    In the synaptic package manager minicom 2.3-1ubuntu2 is listed under communication.
    There is also cutecom 0.22.0-1,gkermit 1.0-9, and gtkterm 0.99.5-1ubuntu3 in communication(universe).

    Or the via the command line as so...
    apt-get install minicom to install minicom.
    Type apt-get by itself to get a list of commands.
    -dan

    D'OH! I don't know what I typed when I said that minicom was not available. I had opened synaptic and used the search function. Now there is the minicom package, of course.

    Thanks!
