not entirely on topic, but I'm looking for some utilities to monitor/configure serial ports. We use a lot of Stallion boards under SCO, and got used to easyadm. Stallion have stated they have no intention of porting this to linux.
I'm looking for a package to run under Fedora or RHEL (we are likely to deploy both ) that allows configuration of both RFC2217 remote serial ports, onboard ttySx ports and Stallion EasyIO ports. It should show port usage (pin status, bps throughput, current settings) in either an Ncurses (preferable, we do most maintenance over 28k modems) or X. One combined tool would be great, but individual tools to do the same would be fine.
Googling etc has not come up with much in the way of serial tools. I usually use stty but this does not have the "point-n-click" effect I'm looking for - 3am with a factory stopage is no time to be deciphering those options anyway. statserial seems okay but I'd really prefer one centralised tool like what is availabe for SCO.
Does anyone have any leads for me?
