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