<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
|
|
<EM>Term</EM> allows MINIX to talk to a terminal or modem over RS232 port 1. The
|
|
program first sets the baudrate, parity and character length, and then
|
|
forks. The parent sits in a loop copying from <EM>stdin</EM> (usually the
|
|
console's keyboard), to the terminal or modem (/<EM>dev</EM>/<EM>tty00</EM>). The child
|
|
sits in a loop copying from the terminal or modem (/<EM>dev</EM>/<EM>tty00</EM>) to
|
|
standard output. Thus when RS232 port 1 is connected to a modem, every
|
|
keystroke typed on the keyboard is sent to the modem, and every character
|
|
arriving from the modem is displayed. Standard input and output may be
|
|
redirected, to provide a primitive file transfer program, with no
|
|
checking. Any argument that starts with a minus ('-') is sent out to the
|
|
modem, usually to dial out. <EM>Term</EM> accepts several commands that are
|
|
formed by typing the escape character, CTRL-], and a letter. Type CTRL-
|
|
]? to see a list of commands. The subshell command is very important, it
|
|
allows you to type in a ZMODEM command to transfer data. Do not quit
|
|
<EM>term</EM> to do this, or your modem line will be reset! <EM>Term</EM> keeps the modem
|
|
line open on file descriptor 9 while running the subshell, so you can
|
|
type
|
|
|
|
<&9 >&9
|
|
|
|
at the end of your ZMODEM command to connect it to the modem.
|
|
|
|
Important note: to use <EM>term</EM>, it is essential that /<EM>etc</EM>/<EM>ttytab</EM> is
|
|
configured so that there is no shell hanging on /<EM>dev</EM>/<EM>tty01</EM>. If there is,
|
|
both the shell and term will try to read from /<EM>dev</EM>/<EM>tty01</EM>, and nothing
|
|
will work.
