Hey guys,
Is there somewhere to ask for apps? I didn't see a
comp.os.linux.binaries.wanted or anything like that so I posted here.
All I want is to be able to re-dial a number. C-Kermit is just fine but I
want to redial until I make a connection. Can anyone help me?

1. Reading directly from serial port at 57.6kB, or good comm package
In an effort to debunk the myth that Linux is not suited for production
environments, I have started using it wherever performance is critical
and clever-looking GUI slop is not. For example, we now have two $1000
PC's behind a Cisco Local Director acting as an outbound SMTP farm, and
they outperform a $8000 Sparc 10 with gobs (128MB) of RAM!
Linux evangelizing aside, I need help with the following: I am using
Linux 2.0.0 on a machine which handles the inbound end of a leased
line/DSU setup for a news feed. We can get the serial stream from the
DSU into minicom just fine, read the text, etc.
What I would like to do is write a Perl script that opens /dev/ttyS1
directly and reads from it, but I can't figure out how to set the
default behavior of /dev/ttyS1 to 57600, 8-N-1. It seems in all of the
FAQs that you can either set it with getty (which I don't want to use)
or in your communication program, but you can't change the default
behavior of the special file itself!
Does anyone out there know how to do this?
Alternatively, if someone could point me to a communications package
which would allow me enough scripting capability to break apart an
inbound text stream into files to be processed elsewhere, that would be
good too...
