Description

Minicom is a text-based terminal emulation program for Unix-like operating systems. It emulates the features of a VT102 terminal and adds extra features such as dialing out to modem devices, file transfer protocols, scripting and other user-defined options. It is commonly used to access remote systems such as servers, routers, and modems. It can also be used to access local serial devices such as printers, modems, and other devices. Minicom provides an intuitive interface for users to interact with remote systems, providing an alternative to the traditional command line interface. It supports a wide range of protocols, including the popular Telnet and SSH protocols, as well as Zmodem, Kermit, and Xmodem for file transfers. Minicom also provides basic terminal emulation features such as color, text formatting, and window resizing.
