Is there a HyperTerminal-like Program for Linux?
Posts: 5
Hello.
I am currently taking a networking class in my university. In the lab they have 6 CISCO Routers, and we work in six differnt teams, so each team gets one router to use. To configure the router we connect the serial port of my laptop to the console port of the router, and use HyperTerminal in Windows to get everything done. However, I also have MEPIS in my laptop and I would like to do it from Linux. Is there any program thar works like HyperTerminal so I can do that?
Thanks for everything

Mini-com is the thing to use with the Cisco router, or Seyon:

This is really a good graphical program communicating via serial ports. I think it is better than hyperterminal. I have the source code link:
http://cutecom.sourceforge.net/
I don't know if someone has a debian binary link to this. But installation from source code is very quick and easy if you have necessary make environment. Just give
./configure
make
commands to compile and then double click on the binary. I was impressed when I firt used it.
Please anybody tell here if you have it run and like it.
Troubles with installing CUTECOM...

Hi guys,
I am quite new to SuSE environment and trying to use cutecom (can't even use minicom) for configuring cisco routers/switches. Can anybody let me know where to find detailed instructions how to install and configure cutecom? Unless somebody would be kind enough to post some instructions here? That'd be really great.
Many thanks,

minicom is the first i recall. it's not installed by default, so you will need to
apt-get install minicom
