minicom

Minicom is a simple modem control and terminal emulation program

that resembles MS-DOS Telix somewhat. It is driven by text-based menus,

has a dialing directory, full ANSI and VT100 emulation, an (external)

scripting language, and other features.

Minicom should be installed if you need a simple modem control program

or terminal emulator. It can be used for remote access (in a terminal)

and to test and configure your modem.
