Description

Administrators can open a simple serial terminal session from the command line. This is useful for routers, embedded boards, modems, microcontrollers, and other devices that expose a serial console.

It can send commands directly to connected hardware, so confirm the serial device, speed, and permissions before using it on equipment that controls real systems.
