hyperterminal on HPUX ?

[Lorenzo Meneguzzi]

Hi,
I have to communicate with a serial link between my server HPUX 11i and an electronic equipment.
I was wondering if there is an equivalent of hyperterminal working on HP-UX.
Thanks for your ideas.

Hi Lorenzo,
on HP-UX you can use cu command from shell.
Read the man page for cu

man cu

Hi,
In HPUX, identfy the port which are connecting to your electronics device and look at the entry for the same in /etc/inittab file.
There you can provide arguments to set the communication parameters for that port.

Default entry is like this below:

ttp1:234:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty -h tty0p1 9600

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your replies.
I discovered that kermit can also be used.
but cu and kermit are not so easy to use as hyperterminal !
