Konsole: telnetting and using COM1 for bi directional data
Greetings All:
I am having quite a time with a project I'm working on. I have konsole automatically opening and logging into a unix server. We have a homegrown system that we weigh things in and we are trying to configure konsole to use it.
Our scale is a serial device, so we need to be able to send a command to the scale and receive data back form it through the serial port back to the server via konsole.
Our current setup is HP 700/70 terminals that we are trying to replace.
Anyone know how I can designate COM1 for bidrectional throughput in the konsole session? I can';t seem to get it to work.
Any help is IMMENSELY appreciated!!! Thanks!

I think you will need some kind of terminal program liek minicom.

Thanks for your input, I was starting to think that, too. Is there a way to make Minicom use eth0 to telnet out? I can't find any way to get it off the serial port...
Hmm I thought you need to communicate over serial port.
For telnet you can use telnet

No, we are telnetting via LAN, then need to pull data bidirectionally via the serial port from a device that sends a signal to the AUX port which is redirected out via the serial and then the device responds back with data.
