Hi All,
I want an emulator which will allow me to send out plaiin ascii text to
a machine connected via a NULL modem . The interpreting of the ascii
characters will be done by the other end
Is there any emulator which allows me to send plain ascii strings via a
COM port and get display the resulting data from the other side
TIA
Phani

If you don't want to bother with Kermit you could just echo the strings
out the com port:

echo "Hey there!" >/dev/ttya

Using a perl script you can write output to ttya like any other file.
The same goes for reading from ttya. You can get fancy to and set line
settings on the port to handle flow-control, parity and other settings
too.
