Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm working on a small embedded device (based on a PIC16F877) that talks to my PC over a serial port. So far I've been using tip(1) to interface with the board (just a simple menu) but now I need to transfer small text files to the board and it isn't fast enough to take the file in one chunk. It looks like I need an (extremely) lightweight transfer protocol. The tip(1) man page briefly mentions a tandem protocol, as well as echocheck and synchronizing using end-of-line markers. Where can I find more info on this? Am I even looking in the right place? I tried google, but it only found a million versions of the man page.
