HP Equivalent to SUN "tip" command

[Greg OBarr]

Is there an equivalent command in HP-UX to the SunOS/Solaris "tip" command? This is a Terminal Interface Program that allows you to connect to a device via serial connection. The program emulates a terminal connection to the device attached serially.

The closest installed program is 'kermit'. Typically, you would do:
kermit
SET LINE /dev/tty0p1
SET SPEED 19200
CONNECT

Man kermit for details.

Thanks Clay. I can connect, but I get no response. I'm trying to connect to an old disk array to which I have no documentataion. Could be some specific terminal settings required to connect. More research needed, but at least I have a way to do it now.

Greg,
I haven't used it yet, but I've seen it done, HPUX has "cu" (Call another Unix system) which is basically the same thing as tip on Sun. Do a man on "cu", looks pretty straight forward.
