guest writes to /dev/ttyS0
vmware connects its virtual S0 to the host's ttyFakeS0
minicom on the host to ttyFakeS0
or even
vmware S0 to host's ttyS0
other remote machine do minicom to ttyS0
The reason for FakeS0 is that vmware does not know about ptys,
unfortunately.
Yes, VMWare doesn't support serial port using host's ttys any more. My
idea is:
[host - application] <- read/write -> [virtual serial port
/dev/ttyFakeS0] <- read/write over virtual null-modem serial cable ->
[host - real serial port /dev/ttyS0] <- read/write -> [VMWare - application]
Although it is quite irrelevant to LKML (you may want to visit
www.vmware.com/community/index.jspa and ask there...), you can connect guest's
serial port also to Unix socket - and in such situation you need virtual serial
port driver only if 'host - application' does not know how to use /dev/tty* (for
unix socket <-> /dev/ptyp* app look at
http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/serpipe.tar.gz).
