hi, [sorry, if I posted this on the wrong mailing list!] I want to program a special kind of shell, that offers only a limited set of commands for communication with com-ports as well as a few administrative tasks. what I need is: - a bash-like shell interface - command history - command completion - communication with a comport - communication with a mysql database what I would like to have is - a hyperterminal-like connection to a comport. that is: on the com-port there will be the console of a cisco-router. since I will have many routers on many different com-ports, I like to have a possibility to forward the routers own console and use the command-completion of the router rather than my own. what gnu-sources/other free sources would you recommend to build such an application? gruss /Christian mailto:caefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers: :-) 19-Sep-82 11:44 Scott E Fahlman
