Probably you will be able to use cu, something like:cu -l [device] -s [speed]-Gessuss

Sorry, "cu" counts as a terminal program, so it's right out.-- Grant Edwards                   grante             Yow!  My TOYOTA is built                                  at               like a... BAGEL with CREAM                                           CHEESE!!

i would use the perl serialport library. i have used it for windows not linux (but it maybe as easy. i am not sure). you need to do a program for the target and another for the PC (in perl). it is a lot easier than in C++
