What is your computer? If it is any form of Unix (such as Linux),
you can use C-Kermit for this:
receive /filter:name-of-filter-program
in which "name-of-filter-program" is the name of a program you
would supply or write to to filter and react to codes in the data.
You might be able to do it in Windows too, but it's not so
straightforward (since Windows is not easily programmable).
: 1. What do I need to know? The minimum specs for kermit ?
:
Just tell us what operating system you have and we'll tell you which
software you can use.
: 2. And where can on get this, hopefully for little of no money?
:
All Kermit software costs little or no money :-)
: 3. Are there any websites that have minimum code samples
: for using kermit protocol on serial ports ?
:
You should not need to write your own Kermit (or any other) protocol
implementation.
The Kermit website is here:
