31 to talk to a terminal or modem over RS232
32 port 1. The program first sets the baudrate, parity and character length,
34 The parent sits in a loop copying from \fIstdin\fR (usually the console's
35 keyboard), to the terminal or modem (\fI/dev/tty00\fR).
36 The child sits in a loop
37 copying from the terminal or modem (\fI/dev/tty00\fR) to standard output.
39 RS232 port 1 is connected to a modem, every keystroke typed on the keyboard
40 is sent to the modem, and every character arriving from the modem is displayed.
41 Standard input and output may be redirected, to provide a primitive file
42 transfer program, with no checking. Any argument that starts with
44 is sent out to the modem, usually to dial out. \fITerm\fP accepts
45 several commands that are formed by typing the escape character, CTRL-],
46 and a letter. Type CTRL-]? to see a list of commands. The subshell command
47 is very important, it allows you to type in a ZMODEM command to transfer
48 data. Do not quit \fIterm\fR to do this, or your modem line will be reset!
49 \fITerm\fP keeps the modem line open on file descriptor 9 while running the
50 subshell, so you can type
56 at the end of your ZMODEM command to connect it to the modem. With
58 arguments you can bind shell commands to keys. The character just after
60 is the key to use, the rest of the characters form the command to bind to the
61 key. This command also has the modem open on file descriptor 9.
63 Important note: to use \fIterm\fR, it is essential that
64 \fI/etc/ttytab\fR is configured so
65 that there is no login session started on the modem line.
66 If there is, both the login session and
67 term will try to read from the modem, and nothing will work.
