Don't have tip / cu / minicom / kermit / hyperterminal / securecrt / an old vt100 / whatever around or just love GNU Screen? Here's a cool tip:
Start a screen session on the serial console at 9600baud:
$ screen /dev/ttyS0 9600
Too slow and your setup can handle it? Use 115200 baud:
$ screen /dev/ttyS0 115200So, how do you send a break? C-a B. Just use Ctrl-a ? for help.

Had to slap myself on the forehead when I read this :-)
At work I've been frustrated with minicom clearing all text when minimizing or resizing the VMvware window. Can't believe I didn't think of using Screen.
I've used Screen a lot, so I should have known that this wonder tool also do null modem connections.
Thanx for the tip :-)
