#VT100 EMULATOR MAC INSTALL#

Download the source at the following address: Copy it in a folder, then, using terminal:% cd% unzip -a cku211.zip% make macosx103% sudo make install it will compile and install Kermit in the folder /usr/local/bin/kermit the binary is called wermit.

Unfortunately a binary is not available, we must compile it by ourselves, but it's really easy, as Mac OS X is supported. I haven't tried talking to PDAs or GPS devices though.

I use this with an unbranded PL-2303-equipped adapter bought from eBay for six of our English pounds, compared to thirty-odd for a Keyspan device, and it talks perfectly to my Cisco routers.

Is currently not very good you can't send a break signal via screen in Terminal, for example. Many USB-serial adapters use the same chip, Prolific Industries' PL-2303 controller. No need to shell out for Keyspan's admittedly very good drivers. If you prefer to use Minicom, you could still use the AppleScript to wrap it into a nice launchable app - use to find the right command line commands.

If anyone can reply with a link to a tutorial on how to wrap an interactive Unix App in Cocoa, that would be the next step - it would be nice to do this without involving Terminal. Man screen will show you further commands to send to a screen session. If you fail to do this and exit a Terminal session, you'll leave the screen session alive and the serial resource unavailable until you kill the screen session manually. So type Control-A followed by Control- to exit your screen session. Screen uses Control-A to take commands directed to it. You may also need to customize the screen command with a different device name if you are using something other than the Keyspan Serial Adapter (do an ls tty* of the /dev/ directory to get the right name). You may want to customize this slightly - you can change the screen colors or number of columns or rows.

Solution: Use screen, Terminal, and a little AppleScripting.įirst, launch Script Editor and type/paste in the following code: tell application 'Terminal' do script with command 'screen /dev/tty.KeySerial1' set number of rows of window 1 to 100 set number of columns of window 1 to 80 set background color of window 1 to 'black' set normal text color of window 1 to 'green' set custom title of window 1 to 'SerialOut' end tell Compile and save as an app from within Script Editor, and you have a double-clickable application to launch a serial Terminal session.

Minicom requires installation of Fink or MacPorts and is overly complex.

It is not worth the shareware fee in its current form. The developer doesn't seem in any hurry to rectify the situation. It hasn't been updated in five years or so, and isn't a Universal Binary. I often have to do router configuration via a console port, so I use a Keyspan Serial Adapter to get access.
