My experiment is this. I want to be able to communicate with the modem, issuing it a command, and have that command response echoed back onto my screen, all from the command line. I have no idea where to start looking for answers on this one. Im able to talk to the serial port using Minicom, but it needs to be done via command line for various scripting reasons. Can anyone suggest a solution or even a direction I may take to solve this ?
