hi
I require a utility like hyperterminal in windows for an embedded
system project...
I would like to have such utility for linux so that i can use and test
it using linux .

Thanks

Don't expect people to know what some windoze application does. By the
name of it, it is some kind of terminal emulation program.

Take a look at minicom.

Dear Manoj:
    I gave up on hyperterminal in windows some time back and replaced it
with teraterm, it actually works significantly better. That is a reasonable
windows solution. For a Linux (capitalization intentional), the basic
minicom is just fine. Linux has much more intrinsic network and serial
support that it can almost all be done from the shell without a terminal
emulator, unlike windows (non-capitalization intentional), which was
originally designed for a single user environment and both networking and
multiuser terminal support are an after-thought.

hi

I think i must clear the subject.
i want to connect a bus to the serial port and want to see what bits
are coming
and be able to send a byte through the same port (of course bit by
bit) through the same bus.
What hyperterminal does is on receiving every 8 bits through serial
port,echoes on the terminal corresonding ASCII character and if a
press any key on the keyboard ,send its ASCII code in binary bit by
bit through the serial port .
(Also, i can see the local character typed echoed on terminal)
Note: I don't have to dial to some location or number .I just want to
connect it to a microcontroller bus.

I want such an utility for linux .

Thanks
Manoj Gupta

Minicom will fulfil this need.

Hi,

have you tried gtkterm?

Description: A simple GTK+ serial port terminal
 gtkterm is a simple GTK+ terminal used to communicate with the serial port.
 .
 Its features :
 .
  * Serial port terminal window
  * Serial port setup (speed, parity, bits, stopbits, flow control)
  * Using the termios API
  * Possible to send a file (only RAW data, no protocol)
  * End of line delay while sending a file
  * Special character wait before next line while sending a file
  * Possible to toggle control lines manually (DTR, CTS)
  * Also reads the state of control lines (RTS, CD, DSR, RI)
 .
