The corresponding slave device (dev/tty*) +then can be used by an application that expects a local async terminal +port. For example, to monitor a UPS (connected to AUX ports on a Cisco router) +using nut. + +Whenever telnet subprocess terminates on any reason, it is restarted +as soon as any data received from the terminal device. + +It can also work when authentication is required, i.e. it can pass username +and password specified in its configuration file. + +PortTest is something like cu(1). You can use either of them to test the +connection. + +WWW: http://rnoc.urc.ac.ru/~anton/projects/pr/PR.html |
