Fedora EPEL Update Notification
FEDORA-EPEL-2017-4e87b6e6a8
2017-06-15 02:55:57.350057
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : picocom
Product : Fedora EPEL 6
Version : 2.2
Release : 2.el6
URL :
https://github.com/npat-efault/picocom
Summary : Minimal serial communications program
Description :
As its name suggests, [picocom] is a minimal dumb-terminal emulation
program. It is, in principle, very much like minicom, only it's "pico"
instead of "mini"! It was designed to serve as a simple, manual, modem
configuration, testing, and debugging tool. It has also served (quite
well) as a low-tech "terminal-window" to allow operator intervention
in PPP connection scripts (something like the ms-windows "open
terminal window before / after dialing" feature). It could also prove
useful in many other similar tasks. It is ideal for embedded systems
since its memory footprint is minimal (less than 20K, when
stripped).
