category: Utils requires: cygwin sdesc: "Minimal dumb-terminal emulator" ldesc: "picocom was designed to serve as a simple, manual, modem configuration, testing, and debugging tool. It has also served (quite well) as a low-tech 'terminal-window' to allow operator intervention in PPP connection scripts (something like the ms-windows 'open terminal window before / after dialing' feature). It could also prove useful in many other similar tasks. It is ideal for embedded systems since its memory footprint is minimal."
