As its name suggests, picocom is a minimal dumb-terminal emulation
|
|
|
|
|
program. It is, in principle, very much like minicom, 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. It could also prove useful in many other
|
|
|
|
|
similar tasks.
