I'm looking for help and/or leads on how to capture data coming in on a com port. This is a noaa weather feed from a satellite receiver which goes to a box which which has one rs232 input and about 8 rs232 outputs. I think the data just streams out whether anything is listening or not. I would like to receive this on a com port on a freebsd box and listen for key words and perform a function when it sees a particular string. Is there something in the ports that could be adapted for this or could it be more easily done in a shell script. If so what would be the command to listen to a com port from a shell. Thanks Paul sorry for the double post prevoious one in a an unrelated thread To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
