The com port should be something like /dev/ttyS0 (that's a zero on the end)Is there a way for me to telnet to a local com port? I want to move my phone system connection from my windows server to my linux server if it's possible. I didn't see anything in /dev that looked like a com port, found parallel ports though...
I have never used telnet to a com port, but I have used cu (you will need to load the uucp package to get cu):
cu -l ttyS0 -s 38400
will connect using the first serial port on your originating machine to whichever serial port on the machine you want to connect to, using a baud rate of 38400. Once connected, you should get a console login prompt.
I have not used minicom, but have seen it recommended if you want to use a gui.
If you want to connect with a windows box, you can use hyperterm.
