I currently access my phone switch from my windows server, which will be going to linux soon, so I moved the serial cable to the linux box. On the windows box, I used secureCRT, which allowed me to access the serial ports. Now I need a way to do it on linux. What is the uucp package? What else does it install? I don't currently have it installed. This is the first time I've tried to access a com port from linux, I just mentioned that I tried telnet, and it didn't work.
