OK, then I will not accept it. I hate minicom, and I'm actively blackballing it ;-)
I also find it very important to support minicom on Linux systems because it is the default terminal program in many Linux distributions. And it is not true that the usage of sx-at91 would be restricted only to minicom; minicom itself doesn't contain transfer programs for X-, Y- and Z-MODEM; instead it uses the external programs from the rzsz package. A proper solution would be fixing the rzsz's sx program so it doesn't cause X-MODEM protocol errors for the AT91 implementation. Even M$ Hyperterminal behaves correctly.
With best regards Andreas
I've recently become a fan of serproxy. Serproxy is a daemon that acts as a telnet proxy from a TCP port to a serial port on a linux box. This abstracts the serial port on my lab linux machine to be a network device that I can connect to from anyplace. It opens up a lot of nice possibilities and I don't have to deal with the indignities of minicom.
