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 serial communications program to allow access to all types +of devices that provide serial consoles. It could also prove useful +in many other similar tasks. |
