NAME
|
||
term - turn PC into a dumb terminal [IBM]
|
||
|
||
SYNOPSIS
|
||
term [baudrate] [parity] [bits_per_character] [-dial_string] [device]
|
||
|
||
EXAMPLES
|
||
|
||
term 2400 # Talk to modem at 2400 baud
|
||
|
||
term 1200 7 even # 1200 baud, 7 bits/char, even parity
|
||
|
||
term 8 9600 /dev/tty01
|
||
# 9600 baud, 8 bits/char, no parity, use tty01
|
||
|
||
term -atdt12345 /dev/tty01
|
||
# Start with a command to dial out
|
||
|
||
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
||
Term 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 stdin (usually the
|
||
console's keyboard), to the terminal or modem (/dev/tty00). The child
|
||
sits in a loop copying from the terminal or modem (/dev/tty00) 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. Term 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
|
||
term to do this, or your modem line will be reset! Term 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 term, it is essential that /etc/ttytab is
|
||
configured so that there is no shell hanging on /dev/tty01. If there is,
|
||
both the shell and term will try to read from /dev/tty01, and nothing
|
||
will work.
