Terminal Emulation on Mac OS X Leopard
February 18th, 2008
The best and fastest solution to have a solid terminal emulation product that is free on Mac OS X Leopard is to just use minicom.
sudo port install minicom
sudo minicom -s
Configure minicom to your liking. If you need to find you device to configure minicom with just run
ls /dev | grep tty.*
tty.usbserial
Add /dev/tty.usbserial to the modem line in the configuration. Save the config as default and select exit
