hey everyone-

I am working on a project here that requires me to send some strange ASCII
characters to the serial port on my bsd machine...I am thinking that I
might just be able to get away with writing a shell script that would "echo
"thest ASCII data" >/dev/cuaa" am I correct in this line of thinking?  If
so my other issue is that a few of the scharacters are like CTRL+2 at the
same time...it seems that pico will not support some of the necessary
commands...how can I get these to echo out the serial port.  another one
that I have to send is CTRL+D (end of transmission) but everytime that I
use that in a telnet session to the bsd box I get disconnected...how can I
do this???

PLEASE HELP!!

thanks in advance,
Bernie
