Well, it looks like the link for Zaurus Minicom is gone.  Does anybody have a minicom.ipk they can send me?

Forum guidelines -> MAKE A SIGNATURE, please. ;-)

You need to specify what OS you are running and what version... If it's the sharp rom then I suggest killefiz...

I can give you the binary for the sharp rom/cacko. I don't have the IPK, sorry.

Sorry about that.  I usually look over the forum rules before posting.  Even after your suggestion, I couldn't find the note regarding sig lines.

Anyhow, I found a minicom executable, and a libncurses file.  Now I'm running Libncurses.so.4 and require .5 for minicom.  If this were the other way around, I would ln and be done with it.  Sigh.

Consider kermit, I prefer it over minicom.

Oops - I apologise, it may not be listed as a forum rule... but it does help people understand a situation better.

I'd rather have someone with no sig than the idiotic half-page sigs I see regularly. They take a whole page on the Z screen as well  
Yours is pretty much perfect: specs and a short word, but some people just don't know where to stop.

here's my libncurses stuff from /usr/lib tar'd up

I know it's been a while, but I've been busy with other stuff / try to solve my own problems.  There is a 263K file for libncurses.4.0, and all the other files in your archive are all 0 bytes.  Did you make an alias for libncurses5?

I've done some fairly extensive searches, and it seems (dot)5 is hard to find.  I'll try kermit, and see if I'm more successful.

the other files are soft links.

seems I now have libncurses.so.5.4, courtesy of cacko-full, there are links to it called libncurses.so.5, libncurses.so.5.0 and libncurses.so

do you want a tar.gz of these as well?

Yes, that would be swell.
I've got kermit installed and running.  I've never used it before, so the commands are a stumbling block.  In addition, it was built for a 5500, so I'm not sure if I'm on the right track.

I found this extremely minimal terminal program which you might find useful, depending on your needs.  I think I originally found it on zsi or elsi under the name tipterm but the ipk was messed up.  I fixed the ipk and found the source code for it (both are attached).  The author claims it is tip-like but it is definitely not a port of tip.  It's a very simple command line-based app that simply lets you type to the serial port while it echoes back characters from the serial port.  If you run it in a vt100 shell you get vt100 support.   If you connect to a modem with it and you know the AT command set, you have modem support.   It should be compilable on virtually any linux/unix.

sweet.  I'll load it up when I get home.  Unfortunately the security admin at work just told me he doesn't want my Z touching any servers.

BTW are you going to load this up to elsix.org?

I wasn't going to because it's already there ([a href=\"http://www.elsix.org/index.php?w=project&p=977]http://www.elsix.org/index.php?w=project&p=977[/url]) and I'm not the author.  The download link in that entry only gives a binary.  There is a link to the project homepage but it was difficult to find the app there.  I finally found it on their ftp server: there was an ipk (but it was bad) along with the source.

I guess I could submit the fixed ipk but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.  Do I have to take ownership of the project before I can update it?
