- Announcing minicom 1.78
- A short summary of what minicom is:
- Minicom is a communications program that resembles the MSDOS Telix
- somewhat. It has a dialing directory, color, full ANSI and VT100
- emulation, an (external) scripting language and more.
- Tested platforms:
- Linux 2.0.30
- Supported but untested (maybe needs a little tweaking):
- DGUX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Coherent, HP/UX, SysVR4, Apollo Domain/OS, SunOS, SCO.
- New in minicom 1.78:
- - A logfile is kept of connects, disconnects and file transfers.
- When you dial a number from the phone directory and the other end answers,
- the connect string from the modem is written to the logfile with the entry
- name and phone number. When the carrier drops, the text "Offline" is written.
- The command line of file transfers are also written. The file names and sizes
- are taken from the external protocol driver output lines beginning with
- "Sending", "Receiving" and "Bytes". I tested this with rz and sz.
- All output lines in the logfile are preceded with the system date and time.
- If you want to disable logging, you may comment out the LOGFILE macro in
- config.h and recompile the program. If you don't want to compile it, and
- you don't care about the logfile, you may create an empty file "minicom.log"
- in your home directory with no write permissions.
- - The date and time of the latest call, and a call counter is stored for
- each phone directory entry. They are shown in the phone dir instead of
- some things I found less interesting, like the terminal emulation setting
- and serial port parameters.
- - The DTR drop time with the hangup command is now adjustable. Some modems
- need DTR to be down more than just one second before they hang up.
- - Character conversion tables for calling systems that use a character set
- different from your computer. You may define a conversion table for each
- phone directory entry, and the defined table will be loaded when you call
- that entry, before running the login script. If no table is defined in the
- phone dir, the table is not changed. Tables .mciso, .mcpc8 and .mcsf7 are
- included to be used when calling systems that use iso-8859-1, pc character
- set and the Finnish sf7 coding, respectively. The .mciso actually doesn't
- convert anything. Copy the tables to your home directory. There is no
- actual restriction of the filenames for the conversion tables (except that
- it shouldn't be longer than 16 characters), I just began them all with .mc
- to keep them together in the ls listings.
- - Added environment variable TERMLIN for runscript. It is the number of
- lines on the terminal screen. (That is, LINES - 1 if you use the statusline,
- same as LINES if you don't.)
- - Fixed a bug that caused runscript to always run the login script of the
- first number dialed when several entries were tagged for dialing, regardless
- which one of them answered.
- - Changed the DTE speed from int to long. Now it should also work on modems
- faster than 32768 bps.
