OS/2, eCS & ArcaOS - Technical > Applications
Terminal App Recommendation
Andi B.:
OS/2 usually comes with Halite. Maybe you have to select it during ArcaOS installation. It reminds me a bit to Hyperterminal on Win. It's simple and looks a bit weird this days but it works if you set up a serial connection profile.
Zoc is 'the' ultimate terminal application for OS/2 - ArcaOS with all sort of functions and possibilities which may be confusing at first. But it's worth to play with it.
Qputty also works here.

So your cable and baud rate is okay. I suggest you deselect all the handshake options in the Zoc dialog to test. Maybe that helps. If not, I once had a problem with a USB to serial converter which only worked in one direction. I trashed it away and another one works as expected.

Both stem from the same producer, Hilgraeve. Hyper Access existed also for W$. Both didn't work for many connections. But is should work well with standard connections and fonts.

.. and still for Windows, while PuTTY is nowadays the better option, at least it was for Telnet. I don't have experience with it over serial connections. BTW: I use the same ZOC version on W$ at work that exists as last version for OS/2, just because it has less bugs. I have included key conversion and many REXX macros for automation. But I agree, that should be overkill for a simple connection with a appropriate cable.

Good point. May be. The standard is: 9600/8/N/1/- (9600 Baud, 8 Bit, no parity, 1 stop bit, no Xon/Xoff hand shake AKA flow control.)

I've gotten further. Saw another post to add the /Z /V to the USBCOM.SYS device statement. I am now able to connect to the serial device and enter text. The problem now is it its adding some extra characters when I enter text. So far HyperAccess Lite is the only program that is at least connecting. I see the [24;11H after entering text and it seems to me like it's some kind of escape sequence.

If I am not mistaken, that escape sequence positions the cursor on row 24, column 11 on your screen. Does this match what you are seeing?
christech:
Sounds about right, I was also able to get ZOC working, and it's doing the same thing. I was able to login to the device but the escape sequences are still there. Weird!
