As its name suggests, picocom is a minimal dumb-terminal emulation pro-
|
|
gram. It is, in principle, very much like minicom(1) , only it's "pico"
|
|
instead of "mini"! It was designed to serve as a simple, manual, modem
|
|
configuration, testing, and debugging tool. It has also served (quite
|
|
well) as a low-tech "terminal-window" to allow operator intervention in
|
|
PPP connection scripts (something like the ms-windows "open terminal
|
|
window before / after dialing" feature). It could also prove useful in
|
|
many other similar tasks.
|
|
|
|
It is a lightweight terminal emulator, that is much simpler to use than
|
|
tip and kermit.
