Hi Peter and Simon, I did that and I got "Error Couldn't find package Minicom" If I need to be on the internet for this then I am going in circles.

However I need to know were to find these Hyperterminal equivalent programs in a default load of 64 bit Ubuntu 8. I have had a poke around in accessories and system but I don't see them. You nedd to install minicom, as it is not installed by default. If you using the synaptic package manager, it is under the 'Communication' menu. Alternatively, "sudo apt-get install minicom" in the command line will install it. -- simon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ wlug mailing list | wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Unsubscribe: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
