Hi all, this is not pcb-rnd related but may be useful for anyone doing electronics with serial lines from *NIX, so it is on-topic. I very often need a serial terminal program to communicate with the command line of my circuits. It is slighlty more than just a pair of cat(1)'s, but over the years I've learned it's much less than what even the smallest software, such as minicom or picocom offer. Particularly: I typically set up the serial line once, when I plug in the device, using stty(8) and I do not want the terminal program to change baud rate, parity or anything alike. I constantly had to work this around with the usual *com programs. My other problem was the control character that is typicall ctrl+a by default which collides with screen(1). Then picocom used some sleep() at exit for some reason, probably something related to flushing, and it was real annoying. I know defaults can be changed and programs can be convinced not to change the baud rate, but I don't like the idea to have unnecessary code in my programs just so that I can spend more time on working them around. So I took picocom, forked it as femtocom and removed a lot of code, making it even smaller. The result is: http://www.repo.hu/projects/femtocom/ Best regards, Igor2
