[sligthly OT] serial console on palm

[John R Lenton]

I remember seing a project to get a palm pilot working as a
serial console, but now google seems unable to find it. Does
anyone know of such a project?

I got one recently called "serialrecord" for the Palm, but it is one-way
only (useful for capturing OOPSes or so.  If someone had a two-way console
for the Palm, it would be great.  Sorry, no URL, but you _should_ be able
to find it in l-k archives.

Cheers, Andreas

there is a vt100 terminal emulater available for the palm (I had it, but
haven't used it in a while, I may have lost it due to not backing things
up properly)

I use my Palm VX as a serial console on Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and
Solaris.  Just get a serial cable for your unit and some console program
such as pTelnet.  The rest is quite simple.  If you find something
different than pTelnet for console, please let me know as I find it
crashes too much.

This one has proved handy in the past.  I've used it to log into routers
and the like, it's pretty cool.  The actual website (not palmgear) is
incredibly slow tho.

I made a couple of changes to it. Mainly:

 Made a Makefile
 increased the speed to 19200
 added a scrollbar
 a filter to get rid of some ansi characters.

If someone could add the code to use higher speeds and being able to
recall previous logs would make it more usefull.

The changed version can be obtained in:

Bugs: If your machine crashes while booting it will loose the tail of
the output, maybe because is not fast enough.
