Serial ports under Linux: /proc/tty/ This directory contains information about the available and currently used tty devices on the system. Originally called a teletype device, any character-based data terminals are called tty devices.
In Linux, there are three different kinds of tty devices. Serial devices are used with serial connections, such as over a modem or using a serial cable. Virtual terminals create the common console connection, such as the virtual consoles available when pressing [Alt]-[<F-key>] at the system console. Pseudo terminals create a two-way communication that is used by some higher level applications, such as X11. ls /cat/tty cat /dev/ttyS? where ? is the number of the serial port you want to view incoming data from. ^C to stop monitoring. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/ref-guide/s1-proc-di rectories.html -- -Majik In these here parts, good guys wear blue. ----- Original Message ----- From: "dmacias" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 10, 2002 12:35 P Subject: new linux user > Hi: > > I have several things to comment: > > 1.
