This is a Linux list. We don't support your proprietary UNIX ways. :-P I'm guessing on of the Linux/BSD terminal programs got ported to OS X. http://www.finkproject.org/ Nick vze284qe@verizon.net wrote:

Hi All,

Does anyone know of a hyperterm-like utility for OS X? I'm looking to connect to a serial port of a server and see the output (there is no video console on this server). Currently, the only thing I can use is hyperterminal. I'm using a MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports. I have a USB-to-DB9 adapter.

I have always used kermit for this w/ my Mac laptops and USB-DB9 dongles. You can get a copy from http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck80binaries.html#apple General information page: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck80.html I have a pretty straightforward .kermrc file at home that I can mail out later this evening. It's mainly just "set line", "set speed", "set device", as I recall. On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 3:38 PM, <vze284qe@verizon.net> wrote:

Yep, it's pretty straightforward: $ cat ~/.kermrc set line /dev/tty.USA19QW3b1P1.1 set flow none set speed 9600 set carrier-watch off I found that the device name would change based on which USB port the dongle was plugged into. fyi.
