Hi gang,
I have a device that spits out raw binary serial data, and I want it
to go to a harddrive. I'm using 6.1.193 Beta.05 on a Solaris machine.
What I did was write a small program that reads stdin and writes it to a file.
I then used the ckermit "redirect" command to run my program attaching
the serial input stream to my program's stdin.
I'm sure there is a better way to do this, but I'm not sure what that better
way is. I have written scripts using the "input" command that does
the same thing for ascii text, but I'm not sure it would work too well
in the this case. Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
Matthew
