What is a good terminal program to use on Linux? I've used different things on Windows, most recently just Putty to connect out. I tried Minicon on linux but it didn't seem to work past a certain point. I could see the power up status message and then it hung. What other options are there?
ETA: nm....I installed Putty and it picked right up where I was having trouble. Problem solved. |
| I can get it to come up with the Ctrl-A line, but it won't respond to anything after that. If I go in and check the settings for the comport they all are correct and match what works in putty. It's actually kind of strange. The only thing I can think of is that it's going through a USB serial adapter, but so far that hasn't affected anything else I've tried to do. |

I'm connecting a PI B+ to a TH-D7 through a USB serial adapter. It works great for Xastir and seems to be OK with Putty. I've kind of moved away from minicom now that I can access it through a terminal. Working (again) on trying to get linBPQ to work through the D7. For some reason I can't access the Mail or Chat apps, even though they claim to be running and I can config them through the HTML link. Also can't get MHEARD to work on the VHF link but I think I have an idea why.
If I could make this work I'd tie a few recent threads and an ancient (Feb) thread of mine together for fun. |

Looks like you have a workaround, but FYI:
In minicom you'll need to disable hardware flow control, that's usually what stops it from working. It's under configure ("O"), serial port setup, items "F" (hardware flow control) and "G" (software flow control) set both to "No." Also when stuff doesn't work, try running again as root, and if it does, it's usually a permission issue (i.e. usually you're not a member of the dialout, uucp, or some other serial port related group.) |

Thanks Seek, that could easily be the problem as the D7 wants to use XON/XOFF.
I've moved on to the issue of having a fully functional PBBS that can't access it's KISS TNC. As with all things BPQ related, you're pretty much at the mercy of John and waiting his response. He really has written a great system and even has updates for RPIs and TNC-Pis. It's too bad the configuration is nothing short of a complete cluster fuck. |
