There should be cu or kermit.

how can i get it? are they GUI utility? where can i get the rpm
i m new to linux can u kindly explain in detail
Thanx in advance

[Georg Tresselt]

cu should be part of your operating system. Have look at its man page

http://www.linuxforum.com/man/cu.1.php

I don't know about a GUI for that means. After all, you're going to use the CLI on your router anyway.

if all else fails, there should also be 'minicom'.

Hi Deepal,

I suggest minicom also.

You may see if it's installed running

#rpm -qa | grep minicom

If it's not installed you have to find out what cd has the required rpm file and run

#rpm -ihv minicom....rpm
